This lemon blueberry bread with lemon frosting is such a delicious homemade spring dessert or treat!
A dessert recipe on my blog? I know it’s a rare occasion these days. However, I have been on a baking kick lately. As well as craving all the things lemon blueberry. It’s the perfect sweet springtime flavor combination. This lemon blueberry loaf is incredible. The homemade lemon buttercream frosting is the cherry on top. My husband said this is his favorite dessert I’ve ever made.
I made my frosting in my kitchen aid mixer using the paddle attachment. It was so quick and easy! However, feel free to use store bought frosting if you want to skip this step or don’t have the right kitchen gadgets for it. Vanilla would work! Either way it will be delicious.
