Instructions

For poundcake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs on low with an electric mixer.
  • Add sugar, and butter and beat until smooth.
  • Pour in milk and vanilla extract and mix just until combined.
  • In a medium bowl toss blueberries with cornstarch. They should all be covered well, and set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
  • Slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the egg-sugar mixture with the mixer on low just until combined.
  • Gently fold in blueberries and lemon zest.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. The batter will be sticky!
  • Make a small cut lengthwise about 1/2 inch deep in the center of the bread.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes (it may take you slightly more, depending on the oven)  or until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few breadcrumbs.
  • Let the bread cool in the tin for 10 minutes, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Drizzle the cooled bread with glaze.
  • Cut into 10-12 thick pieces and enjoy.

For glaze:

  • In a small bowl add all ingredients and whisk to combine.
