Cooking for 8 people

Ingredients

  • golden yellow cake mix
  • 2 tbsp. butter, 1 for the pan, one for on top of the batter
  • 1 egg
  • 0.5 cup water

Cobbler Filling

  • 1.5 cups blueberries
  • 1.5 cups strawberries (chopped with stems removed)
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 0.5 cup flaked sweetened coconut — ¼ for the berry mixture (¼ cup for the batter mixture)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 lemon, used for the juice, plus zest

Tools needed:

  • 12″ cast iron skillet

1 Food Prep

  • Combine the cobbler filling ingredients, and let the berries macerate for 10 minutes.

  • Next, mix the batter. Then add the coconut to the batter and mix until uniform in consistency.
  • Now, coat a cast iron skillet with about 1 tbsp. of butter, so the cobbler doesn’t stick — you can also use coconut oil if you have it.
  • Next, add the berry mixture, then add the batter.
  • Finally, stir the berry and batter mixture with a spoon a few times so some of the berries can make it to the top, and place a tbsp. of butter on top of the batter.

2 Grill Prep

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Place the cast iron skillet directly over the coals for 25 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling up and the cake has turned golden brown.

  • Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream.
