Easy Lemon Blueberry Cobbler
Make this quick & easy Lemon Blueberry Cobbler for dessert! Starts with a lemon cake mix, fresh lemon juice and zest, and full of plump juicy blueberries throughout. Serve with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream... it's the best part!
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Prep : Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.Blueberry Prep : Place the blueberries into a colander and run cold water over them to rinse them. Move the blueberries to a plate or bowl. Use paper towel to dab them dry (just so you don't add too much moisture in with the berries).
- In a mixing bowl, add the blueberries, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice Stir gently just until combined.4 cups fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- In a separate lager mixing bowl, add the dry lemon cake mix, milk and melted butter. Whisk together until smooth and combined well.1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix, 1½ cups whole milk, 3 tablespoons butter
- Stir half of the blueberry mixture into the lemon cake mix batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining blueberry mixture over top the lemon cake mix batter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the blueberries start to bubble and the edges of the cake are golden brown.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
Notes
- Cake Mix : Do not follow the recipe for preparation on the back of the cake mix box. Follow the recipe below, as is written, and just add the additional ingredients called for in the recipe card. They will be different than what the box lists - so it's important to ignore the box directions and follow the recipe.
- Cobbler Tip : Mixing in half of the blueberries ensures that some of the blueberries fall to the bottom of the cobbler, while baking, creating a blueberry filled bottom layer. If you want a different look, like lemon cake and then the blueberry topping, simply omit adding half of the blueberries into the batter and rather add them all on top of the lemon cake mix batter.
- When Is It Done? : Because of the juicy blueberries the middle may not look done when the edges are done (lightly golden brown). Use a toothpick to ensure that it does not come out with wet batter on it. Wet blueberry juice is ok, because of the blueberries, you just want to ensure there is no wet cake batter on the toothpick. The blueberries should be bubbling and the outer edges of the cake will be golden brown.
