Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Blueberry and Lemon Loaf:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest until well combined.
5. Incorporate Lemon Juice: Gradually add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the butter mixture and stir until combined.
6. Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
9. Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Glaze (Optional): If desired, mix the powdered sugar with a little lemon juice to create a glaze and drizzle it over the cooled loaf before slicing.
