– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your own Lemon Blueberry Bread:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Add Buttermilk and Flavors: Stir in the buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter and egg mixture until combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
6. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: For an elegant finish, dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing, if desired.
Through these steps, you will have a moist and flavorful Lemon Blueberry Bread perfect for sharing with friends and family, or simply indulging in yourself!
