Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine melted butter and sugar, whisk until creamy. Add eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while alternating with milk. Mix gently until combined.
  5. Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. For the glaze, whisk together melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  8. Cool the loaf for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack, and drizzle the glaze over it before slicing.
