Making Lemon Blueberry Bread is a straightforward process that anyone can master. Follow these simple steps to bring this delightful bread to life:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Incorporate Lemon: Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the mixture, and mix until combined.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Don’t overmix!
7. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
8. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

By following these steps, you’ll create a stunning loaf of Lemon Blueberry Bread that will have everyone reaching for a slice!
