Nothing is better than a sweet, fluffy blueberry poundcake. This recipe is made with fresh blueberries and it's perfect for breakfast, dessert or a snack any time during the day.

I love this smeared with butter and a hot cup of coffee.

Ingredients

For the cake:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw)

For the glaze (optional):

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice or milk

Directions

• Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
• Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add eggs and extracts: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
• Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
• Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
• Pour into pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
• Bake: Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, you can tent it with aluminum foil halfway through baking.
• Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Prepare the glaze (optional): In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice or milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pound cake.
