Ingredients
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115 g) salted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk, room temperature
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 teaspoons (10 g) baking powder
- 2 cups (300 g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) loaf pan, then line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, vanilla, and milk: Add the eggs, vanilla, and milk one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups (250 g) of flour and the baking powder. Reserve 1 tablespoon (8 g) of flour if you want to toss the blueberries before folding them in.
- Combine dry with wet: On low speed, slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, do not overmix.
- Pour batter into pan: Pour about one-third of the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the remaining batter, being careful not to crush them. Pour this mixture over the batter in the pan and press a few extra berries onto the top for a pretty finish.
- Bake: Bake for 60 – 80 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 60 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to fully cool on a wire rack before slicing to prevent crumbling.
Notes
- If the top browns too quickly during baking, tent the bread with foil to prevent over-browning.
- Allowing the bread to fully cool before slicing helps prevent crumbling.
- Reserving 1 tablespoon of flour to toss the blueberries in helps prevent them from sinking during baking.
