- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
- Combine ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent discoloration.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
