Ingredients

Blackberry Lemon Loaf

  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup (115 g) sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup (122.5 g) whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 cups (288 g) fresh blackberries, divided

Crumble Topping

  • ½ cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • cup (67 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly

Glaze

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water, room temperature

Instructions

Blackberry Lemon Loaf

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray an 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • To the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the sugar, butter, sour cream, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until creamy. (You could also use a handheld mixer.)
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • With the mixer on low, alternate between adding the flour mixture and the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
  • Gently fold in about 1 ¾ cups of blackberries, reserving ¼ cup for the topping.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with the reserved blackberries.

Crumble Topping

  • To make the crumble topping, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and melted butter in a small bowl.
  • Top the batter with the crumble.
  • Bake the loaf for 65 minutes. The bread is done when an inserted toothpick comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter. Let the loaf cool before adding the glaze.

Glaze

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and water. Add more water until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf. Slice and serve.
