Blackberry Buttermilk Cobbler {Who Knew?}
I came home from work on Friday night raving about this Tres Leches Cake that one of my co-workers shared with us (Happy Birthday Mel). I mean this cake stopped you in your tracks. Four layers of sweet milk cake with…
Wait this is a Blackberry Buttermilk Cobbler post.
Sorry.
I really need to make a cake so I at least have one on the pages of Lemony Thyme.
“I’d prefer pie over cake any day.” Wait. What?! Pie? Does anyone actually prefer pie over cake? “Actually….cobbler would be my dessert of choice. Blackberry Cobbler.”
That was the inspiration for this Blackberry Buttermilk Cobbler post. I read a bazillion cobbler recipes, settled on a plan, baked it into heaven, opened a tub of ice cream, dug out two spoons, and set it down between us. Let’s see about this Cobbler vs. Cake.
Clearer minds prevailed. I hadn’t pictured it. Probably ought to show it scooped into a dish all pretty like.
Once pictured, we stood at the counter, spoons in hand, and agreed wholeheartedly that Blackberry Buttermilk Cobbler will give a fine cake a run for it’s money…most days. Who knew?

I agree with your hubby! Cobblers rule over cake any day. I’ve never tried one with blackberries before, though. This looks marvelous :)

Thank you so much Ann. I’ve become a huge fan myself.

I made this tonight and it was absolutely perfect. I thought there was going to be way too much sugar, but I was wrong. I did not have any “self-rising flour” so I had to improvise (added 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt). I wasn’t sure how much cinnamon should be in “cinnamon sugar” so I added 1/4 tsp. This was delicious from the first bite to the last. Thank you Libby, it’s a winner.

Yay!! So glad you enjoyed it. This recipe definitely opened my eyes up to new dessert favorites. I had been a pretty strict chocolate lover, but this turned me around for sure. Thank you for sharing your comments Donna. I always appreciate them. Libby

I’m not sure how I missed your comment Nicole, but I recently made a Tres Leches and must agree (even B agreed) that’s one serious cake. Oh my. I never did finish the post on it but need to make another one. Maybe for our next office birthday. Hmmm. xo to you sweetie.
