Blueberry Lemon Loaves
Serves: 4 large or 8 mini loaves*
 
Ingredients
  • 2⅔ cups (533 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1⅓ cups (320 grams) whole milk
  • 1⅓ cups (303 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 5 large eggs (250 grams)
  • ¼ cup (24 grams) packed lemon zest (from 8 to 10 lemons)
  • 1⅓ cups (320 grams) sour cream
  • 5¼ cups (656 grams) plus 1 tablespoon (8 grams) all-purpose flour, divided
  • 2½ teaspoons (12.5 grams) baking powder
  • 1½ teaspoons (4.5 grams) kosher salt
  • 3 cups (442 grams) fresh blueberries
  • Garnish: sparkling sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). For metal loaf pans, spray 4 large or 8 small pans with baking spray with flour. For paper loaf pans, place pans on a large baking sheet.
  2. In a very large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, milk, melted butter, eggs, and zest. Whisk in sour cream. In a large bowl, whisk together 5¼ cups (656 grams) flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture, whisking just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss together blueberries and remaining 1 tablespoon (8 grams) flour.
  4. Fold blueberries into batter. Divide batter among prepared pans. Sprinkle with sparkling sugar, if desired.
  5. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. For metal loaf pans: 50 minutes to 1 hour for large loaves, or 40 to 45 minutes for small loaves. For paper loaf pans: 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely in pans on wire racks.
Notes
Note: For large loaves, use 8½x4½-inch metal loaf pans. For mini loaves, use 5½x3-inch metal loaf pans. We baked our loaves in Novacart Paper Disposable Loaf Baking Molds (7x3 inches for traditional and 4x2 inches for minis), available at bake deco.com.
