May is all about women and moms. Celebrating moms and Mother’s Day is a tradition in the US. No matter how old your kids are, it’s always special when they do something unique and creative for you.
If you have kids that like to bake, I have a wonderful recipe from celebrity Chef Zipora that your kids can enjoy preparing, maybe with a little help. And it looks like it’s going to taste amazing. A perfect way to spoil someone special this Mother’s Day.
I love blueberries and lemon. I think I know what’s going to be on my table soon.
The Kelly Family’s Blueberry Loaf Recipe
Ingredients – cake:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon peel
¾ cup buttermilk
½ cup coconut oil
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
Ingredients – lemon glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Spray 8½-inch x 4-inch bread pan with olive oil. In a bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder.
In another bowl, combine the sugar and lemon peel. Rub together with your fingers until the mixture feels like sand. Then add to the dry ingredients and mix well.
In a second bowl, combine the buttermilk, coconut oil, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well and then slowly add to the dry ingredients. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, and don’t overmix.
Pour the mixture into the bread pan. Bake 65-70 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on rack for 15 minutes, then remove the cake from the loaf and continue to cool.
To make the lemon glaze: In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Spread onto the cooled blueberry loaf.
