What do I need to make berry cobbler with cake mix?
For this simple recipe, you’ll need just three ingredients. Here’s a check list of what to have on hand before you start your recipe:
- Frozen mixed berries – you can find mixed berries in your frozen foods section. Mixed berries is typically an assortment of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and/or blackberries. I’ve discovered that Costco has the best deal on frozen fruit. Check out my post for 15 Things I Buy at Costco for Healthy Meals and Snacks.
- White or Yellow Cake Mix – you can use just about any white or yellow cake mix. I used a sugar-free cake mix to be able to keep the sugar content low. To mix up the flavor profile, you can also use a lemon cake mix, which is delightful!
- Butter – I tend to buy salted butter, which is what I almost always use for this recipe. If you would prefer to use unsalted, you can definitely go with that.

How do you make a mixed berry cobbler recipe?
To make berry cobbler with cake mix, start by adding the dry cake mix to a mixing bowl. Melt the butter in a separate bowl, and pour the melted butter into the cake mix.
Using a fork, stir the cake mix and butter together in the bowl. As you stir it together, it will create a crumble like texture similar to gravel.

Add the frozen berries to a baking dish. I’m using a baking dish that is approximately 9×10″ – an oval baking dish works well or a 9×9″ square pan will also work.
The berries don’t need to thaw. The berries can still be frozen for this recipe.
Top the frozen berries with the cake mix crumble. It is easiest to use your hands. Evenly distribute the crumble over the top of the berries.
Bake the cobbler until the topping is a light golden brown.
