This blackberry cobbler has a light and fluffy cake-like topping instead of the traditional biscuit-style. My fiancé said this blackberry cobbler was the best she's ever had. Serve warm with heavy or whipped cream.

Blackberry Cobbler Ingredients

These are the simple, kitchen staple ingredients you’ll need to make this top-rated blackberry cobbler recipe: 

  • Sugar: You’ll need white sugar for the berries and for the batter. 
  • Cornstarch: Cornstarch keeps the blackberry cobbler from becoming runny.
  • Berries: Six cups of fresh blackberries should make about 10 servings. 
  • Butter: A stick of melted butter (divided) adds richness and flavor. 
  • Flour: The simple topping starts with all-purpose flour.  
  • Baking powder: Baking powder acts as a leavener, which means it makes the topping rise slightly. 
  • Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor of the blackberry cobbler, but it won’t make it taste salty. 
  • Milk: You’ll need two cups of milk for the batter. 
  • Vanilla: Vanilla extract enhances the flavor of blackberry cobbler.
