Old-Fashioned 3-Ingredient Strawberry Cobbler
When you need a dessert that feels homemade without spending hours in the kitchen, this classic strawberry cobbler is the perfect answer. Sweet, juicy strawberries bubble beneath a golden, buttery topping, creating a warm and comforting treat that tastes like it came straight from Grandma’s kitchen. It’s simple, nostalgic, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
1 bag (16 ounces) frozen sliced strawberries
1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish.
Add the Strawberries
Spread the frozen strawberries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Do not thaw them first.
Top with Cake Mix
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the strawberries, covering the fruit completely.
Add the Butter
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, making sure to cover as much of the surface as possible.
Bake
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Cool Slightly
Let the cobbler rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken slightly while remaining warm and luscious.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with:
A scoop of vanilla ice cream
Freshly whipped cream
A spoonful of plain Greek yogurt for a lighter option
Pair with a cup of coffee, black tea, or a glass of sweet dessert wine for an extra-special treat.
Tips for Success
If you prefer a sweeter cobbler, sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar over the strawberries before adding the cake mix.
For added texture, top with a handful of sliced almonds or chopped pecans before baking.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
