Why Does This Blackberry Cobbler Recipe Work?

• The active cooking time required for this recipe is minimal.
• The recipe is so easy to make that even someone with absolutely no baking experience can nail it in one go.
• You do not have to go hunting for ingredients. This recipe demands only three ingredients that can be found easily at any supermarket.

Blackberry Cobbler Ingredients

Yellow Cake Mix. Yellow Cake Mix is the perfect cake mix for this because it gives a fluffy texture and rich taste. It consists of all the flours essential to form the base of this recipe. This saves you the effort of running to the store, grabbing a bunch of different ingredients, and making sure that you are mixing them in the right proportions when baking.

Fresh Blackberries. Fresh Blackberries form the crux of this recipe. They are pretty much the only flavour-adding factor in this recipe. Use a fresh juicy berries.

Butter. It will help the ingredients stick and will bind them together. It is best to use Melted Unsalted Butter, but you can go for Salted Butter as well if you want to.

How To Make Easy Blackberry Cobbler With Cake Mix?

Heat the oven to 190°C. Spread the fresh blackberry in a 20x22 baking dish or pan.

In a mixing bowl, rub the butter into the cake mix until the crumbles form.

Now sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of the blackberry.

Bake it in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.

Top Tips!

• You can use frozen berries in this recipe if you cannot get your hands on fresh ones. Just make sure that you use them without thawing. Thawing causes the berries to go mushy and ruins the consistency of your dish.
• Mix the batter gently. This will give you a very moist and tender Cobbler.
• Make sure that you pat the Blackberries dry after you rinse them.
• Make sure that you eliminate all the lumps from the batter by mixing well before you bake it. You should have a fine crumbs texture. For this, rub the mixture through your fingers until you get the desired consistency.
• It is important that the butter and Yellow Cake Mix are combined well in a crumble texture before you add blackberries to it.

Some Variations

• Instead of blackberries, you can use other berries of your choice like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or even peaches.
• You can go for a combination of berries for a frenzy of delightfully mixed-up flavours. Fruits like apricots, sweet cherries, apples, bananas, and pears also go well with the blackberries.
• Cover the berries mixture with a sweet biscuit topping and then bake it. This will give you a delicious drop biscuit cobbler.
• You can roll the blackberries in sugar before you add them. This will give you a sweeter flavour.
• Instead of the Yellow Cake Mix, you can use regular pie crust strips. This will give you a different texture and taste, of course, but it is definitely an equally tasty variant.

Serving Suggestions

• It is best to let the dish cool slightly before you take it out to the table to serve. This allows the juices to thicken a bit. However, do not let it cool completely as Cobbler is best eaten warm.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream is the way to go when eating Blackberry Cobbler.
• You can top the dish with sweetened whipped cream.
• Fruit Pies and Blackberry Cobbler make for a heavenly combination!
• Tarts or Yogurts are something that you may want to try out with the dish.
• A simple cup of tea or coffee too makes for a savoury accompaniment to this recipe.

Storage

Make Ahead of Time: With a considerably long shelf life, Blackberry Cobbler is an ideal recipe to make ahead of time. You can simply store it according to the instructions that follow, and you are good to go.

To Store: If there is some leftover Cobbler (which is quite surprising, by the way!), it can simply be covered and stored at room temperature. It is sure to last for up to three days. Just keep it away from sunlight and make sure it is loosely covered to avoid moisture formation.

If you want to store it for up to a week, you can keep the covered Cobbler in the refrigerator. Ensure that the Cobbler has cooled down completely before covering it.

To Freeze: You can freeze the dish in an airtight container and make it last for up to three months. However, you may end up losing the crisp crackle of the topping in the process of thawing it.

The best way is to freeze it before baking. Mix the cake mix and butter together, cover it with aluminium foil, and put it in the freezer. When you want to bake it, sprinkle it on top of the fruits, and then bake it.

Reheating Instructions: Thaw the Blackberry Cobbler overnight before reheating it if you had put it in the freezer. Then keep it in an oven-safe dish and cover it before placing it in the oven. You can also reheat it in a microwave if you want to.

Nonetheless, it is best to warm the Cobbler a little before eating it.
