Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler
Description
This Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler begins with simmering sliced strawberries and thinly sliced rhubarb with half the sugar until the fruit is tender and the juices develop. The batter is prepared by mixing flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and milk to create a smooth base. Melted butter is spread in the baking dish before dolloping the batter evenly over it.
Warm fruit is spooned gently over the batter without stirring, ensuring a fruit layer atop the batter. The cobbler bakes at 350°F until the cake is set and golden, about 45–55 minutes. Cooling briefly helps the batter finish thickening for easy slicing.
The result is a dessert with a soft, cakey topping beneath a layer of sweet-tart fruit that balances the natural rhubarb acidity. Cinnamon adds a warm spice note. This cobbler can be made with fresh or frozen fruit depending on availability.
