Equipment

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/Gas Mark 4 and line the bottom of your loaf tin with baking paper whilst also greasing the sides.
In a small bowl, lightly whisk the milk, zest and lemon juice together. It will curdle but don't worry about that! Put this to the side for later.
In a second bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. Set to the side.
Now in another small bowl, toss the 1tsp of flour with the blueberries until they are nicely coated. This will stop them sinking to the bottom of the tin during baking.
Beat together the sugar and butter until smooth and combined. Then, one at a time add the eggs whilst also adding a small spoonful of flour between each one as this will prevent it from curdling.
Now, one after another, add a splash of the milk mixture followed by a bit of the flour mixture. Keep doing this until all of each is fully incorporated.
Fold the blueberries in and then pour this into your prepared loaf tin, ensuring the top is level.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes to an hour or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Whilst it is baking, prepare your drizzle. In a small bowl, combine the icing sugar and lemon juice & zest until well mixed.
Once the cake is completely cool, pour the drizzle over the top of the cake, allowing it to dribble down either side. Let this set for approximately 15 minutes.
Make a cuppa, kick your legs up and enjoy this little moment of joy!
