If you're looking for a simple way to make the most of fresh Meyer lemons, this Lemon & Blueberry Loaf is a good place to start!

Created by the talented Anna from @thefarmwifenz, this easy homemade loaf combines the sweet, delicate citrus flavour of our Gisborne-grown Meyer lemons with juicy blueberries for a beautifully moist, buttery cake.

It's the kind of recipe you'll find yourself making again and again. Easy to whip up, delicious served warm or cold, and just as good for a weekday afternoon treat as it is for sharing with friends over the weekend.

Ingredients

230g plain flour

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

230g caster sugar

100g butter, softened

1 lemon, zested & juiced

2 eggs

¼ cup milk

¼ cup canola oil

1 cup blueberries

1 tbsp plain flour

Method

Preheat the oven to 170°C. Line a regular-sized loaf tin with baking paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (a hand mixer can also be used), add the caster sugar and lemon zest. Using your fingertips, rub together to release the oils from the zest.
Add the softened butter and beat until pale, light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the milk, canola oil and lemon juice and mix until combined.
Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, then gently fold through the batter with a spatula until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Leave to cool in the tin for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with yoghurt or icecream + enjoy!
