The first time I tried this cobbler was for a summer block party where I was short on time and needed something stress free. It was such a hit everyone wanted the recipe and now I keep the ingredients on hand just in case company pops by.
Ingredients
Yellow cake mix: adds lift and a fluffy topping choose a mix with real vanilla for best flavor
Blueberry pie filling: brings sweet tart blueberry flavor you can use a brand that is loaded with whole berries for the juiciest texture
Butter: creates rich flavor throughout and gives that golden crispy cobbler crown using very cold butter lets it flake and brown better
Optional vanilla ice cream for serving: makes each bite even creamier select a slow churned or premium brand for true dessert joy
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Pan:
Coat a nine by thirteen inch cake pan with a light misting of cooking spray so the cobbler does not stick and clean up stays easy
Layer the First Cake Mix:
Empty about half the cake mix into the prepared pan then use your hands or the back of a spoon to make a gentle even layer making sure to reach every edge and corner for a steady base
Spread the Blueberry Pie Filling:
Spoon both cans of blueberry pie filling over the cake mix base try to distribute the fruit evenly and gently coax the filling to cover without digging into the cake mix underneath
Finish with Remaining Cake Mix:
Scatter the rest of the cake mix evenly over the top of the blueberry filling try not to pile it thick in any spot for the most even bake
