🌿 A Loaf with a Story
Lemon and blueberry have always been a match made in heaven — one tart, one sweet, both vibrant. This pairing became popular in home baking because it strikes the perfect flavor balance: the lemon cuts through the richness, while the blueberries add pops of natural sweetness and color.
This Lemon Blueberry Loaf builds on that harmony, creating a moist, tender crumb and a zesty glaze that brings it all together. It’s comfort and freshness in one delicious package.
