Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blackberries and lemon zest, ensuring the berries are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top of the loaf with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade blackberry loaf!
