Equipment

  • 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 mixing bowl large

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 4 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
  • Wash and dry the blackberries. In a large mixing bowl, combine them with sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for 15 minutes to release their juices.
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.
  • Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared pan. Spoon the topping over the berries, spreading it evenly.
  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the berry juices are bubbling.
  • Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to let the juices thicken.

Serving

  • Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven before serving.
