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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the fresh blackberries and lemon zest, ensuring the berries are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

If desired, dust the top of the loaf with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your homemade blackberry loaf!
