Instructions

Blueberry Lime Loaf

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line the bottom of a 9"x5" loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until well combined and smooth. Mix for at least 3 minutes.
  • Add sour cream, lime zest and juice, and whisk until combined. Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition.
  • Mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Place blueberries in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of flour and stir until blueberries have been coated with flour.
  • Gently fold blueberries into loaf batter and then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Let loaf cool in it's pan for 30 minutes. Run a knife between the loaf and the pan, all the way around the loaf. Turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • In a medium bowl, whisk cream cheese and butter together until well combined. Make sure there are no lumps. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and mix until well combined.
  • Spread frosting over cooled loaf. Loaf can stay at room temperature for about 8 hours. After that, it needs to be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Make sure your butter, sour cream, eggs, and cream cheese are all at room temperature before starting this recipe.
  • I recommend using fresh blueberries with this recipe. Frozen blueberries can be used, but make sure to fully thaw them before starting this recipe.
  • Make sure you dust the blueberries with a bit of flour. This keeps the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
  • The frosting is optional but I so recommend it!
