Blueberry bread with glaze

Here in Iceland, blueberry season is still in full swing. However, for this recipe I used frozen berries - the weather was a bit poor that day and somehow our blueberries weren't ready yet...

Ingredients

300 g flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 pinch of salt

130 g butter

170 g brown sugar

1 Tbsp lemon juice

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla drops

130 g sour cream

130 ml milk

240 g frozen blueberries

100 g powdered sugar

3 Tbsp lemon juice

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

Melt the butter in a saucepan and mix with the sugar.

Then add the lemon juice, eggs and vanilla drops.

Stir in the sour cream.

In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and salt.

Add the mixture from the pot and stir.

Then stir in the milk.

Finally, add the frozen blueberries and stir gently with a spoon or something similar.

Line the baking pan (loaf pan) with baking paper or grease it properly, pour the dough into it...

...and bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 60 minutes - if possible, cover the top of the cake after 30 minutes so that it doesn't get too dark. Test the sticks before taking the cake out of the oven!

Then let the bread cool down.

For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice and stir until smooth, then apply the glaze and let it dry.
