Easy Strawberry Dump Cobbler
This is a simple 4-ingredient dessert recipe. All you need is one pan. It’s true. This may actually the easiest dessert recipe in the world to make!
With the success of my Pecan Cobbler and Caramel Cobbler, I wanted to try creating another dump cake recipe. Why is it called a ‘dump cake or cobbler’, you ask? Because you, literally, dump all the ingredients into a baking pan and bake it. There is no mixing required.
That’s even better than a ‘One-bowl’ recipe, am I right?

butter recommended, not margarine or a substitutebutter
Strawberry Dump Cobbler Method
The strawberries are literally dumped into a cake pan. Spread them out so that every bite has strawberries in it.
The cake mix is next. It’s not really dumped in the pan. You will sprinkle it over the berries evenly.
Next, cut the
You can also spread a handful of walnuts, pecans, or almonds over the cake mix.
Strawberry Cobbler Tips
You can serve dump cobbler warm or at room temperature.
As well, it’s yummy plain or with milk. However, my favorite way to serve it is warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! So good.
To warm refrigerated cobbler, simply zap it in the microwave about 30 seconds.

Notes
Nutrition
I didn’t have a cake mix, so I used pancake mix. It turned out great!
Great thinking!!
Do you need to thaw frozen berries first?
No, no need to thaw them.
Has anyone tried it with lemon cake mix
Can I use chocolate cake mix? Thank you!
Yes
I have not tried it, but it should work just fine!
How well does this keep in the fridge after its made? Does it freeze well?
You can freeze it for up to 8 weeks. I keeps great in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
Is the cake mix the just add water type or the add water, oil and eggs type? Or will either work?
It’s the water/oil/egg kind. I haven’t tried the other.
How much is 5 cups strawberries? Would a 32 oz. container of fresh strawberries be enough?
Is fruit juice an acceptable substitute for butter or margarine in fruit dump cakes?
A lot of time you can substitute apple sauce or pumpkin puree for part of the butter (or oil) when it’s mixed in a recipe. However, on dump cakes/cobblers like this it needs the fat to mix with the cake mix and brown. It will be soggy and not brown on top with fruit juice.
Do I thaw and drained the frozen berries first?
Don’t drain them. I put my berries in frozen. You can do either
Really simple and yummy!
