Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lemon
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup melted butter
2 eggs
¼ cup sour cream
⅓ cup milk
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups frozen blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • Grate the zest from the lemon onto a small plate. Cut the lemon in half, and squeeze the juice from both halves. Make a topping by whisking together 1 teaspoon of the lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, and the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the white sugar, melted butter, eggs, sour cream, the remaining lemon zest, and the remaining lemon juice in a large bowl until evenly blended. Stir in the milk; set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate large bowl. Remove 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture and set aside. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; pour the milk mixture into the well and stir the batter just until combined.
  • Fold the frozen blueberries into the reserved 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture, then fold the blueberries into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes.
  • Remove from oven; immediately poke holes all over the top of the loaf with a toothpick, and pour the topping evenly over the loaf. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

MINI LEMON BLUEBERRY CAKES



Mini Lemon Blueberry Cakes image

This recipe is slightly modified from one I found on the internet about 8 yeas ago. It was credited to a bed and breakfast in the gorgeous little town of Cape May, New Jersey. The scent of these sweet, moist little cakes is just what you'd imagine wafting through the air as you awake on a lazy summer morning at a cozy little B&B on the beach. Yummm... It's one of 2 recipes I've used for years when I want to bake something predictably delicious. www.3zestylemons.com

Categories     Breads

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 small cakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons lemon extract
2 1/4 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups blueberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease and flour 4 to 6 mini loaf pans or small baking dishes. Reserve 1/4 cup of flour to coat the berries (see notes, above). In a medium bowl, sift 2 3/4 cups of flour, sugar, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter; add lemon extract and gradually add sugar. Beat 2 minutes. Beat in 2 eggs at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed after each addition. On lowest speed, add half the flour, beating only until blended. Add all the sour cream, then the balance of the flour. Mix until smooth. Stir in flour-coated blueberries. Pour into prepared pans and bake at 350 degrees F for 40-55 minutes. Cool 20 minutes in pans, then turn onto a cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Fresh blueberries: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh blueberries. If you only have frozen blueberries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using.
  • Zest and juice: Use both the zest and juice of the lemon and orange for a bright and citrusy flavor. Zest the citrus fruits first, then juice them. You will need 1 tablespoon of zest and 1/4 cup of juice from each fruit.
  • Creaming the butter and sugar: Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a tender and moist loaf. Make sure to cream them together for at least 2 minutes, or until the mixture is pale yellow and fluffy.
  • Be careful not to overmix: Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense loaf.
  • Filling the loaf pans: Fill the loaf pans about 2/3 full. This will allow the loaves to rise without overflowing.
  • Baking the loaves: Bake the loaves at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you are using a mini loaf pan, the baking time will be shorter, about 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:

These Blueberry Citrus Mini Loaves are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist and fluffy, with a bright and citrusy flavor. The glaze adds a touch of sweetness and shine. These loaves are also very versatile. Serve them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. You can even wrap them up and freeze them for later.
