3-Ingredient Cake Mix Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Frozen fruit (peaches, berries, or mixed) | 2 ½ cups |
| Cake mix (white recommended, but yellow or flavored works) | 1 box |
| Clear soda (Sprite, 7-Up, or similar) | 2–2 ½ cups |
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s fully heated before baking. This ensures your cobbler cooks evenly from edge to edge.
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish
Use a 9×13 inch baking dish and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. This size gives the cobbler plenty of room to spread evenly.
Step 3: Layer the Frozen Fruit
Spread the frozen fruit evenly across the bottom of the dish. No need to thaw—the fruit will release its natural juices as it bakes, creating a sweet, gooey base.
Step 4: Add the Cake Mix
Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the fruit. Do not mix. The dry cake mix will absorb the juices from the fruit and soda, forming a perfectly soft and golden crust.
Step 5: Pour the Soda
Evenly pour 2–2 ½ cups of Sprite (or your chosen clear soda) over the cake mix. The carbonation helps create a bubbly, slightly crisp topping that contrasts beautifully with the juicy fruit underneath.
Step 6: Bake
Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit mixture is bubbling. The combination of fruit juices, cake mix, and soda makes a moist, flavorful dessert with minimal effort.
Step 7: Serve Warm
Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes, then serve warm. For the ultimate treat, pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream—this dessert is irresistible when it’s still gooey and hot from the oven.
