Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Canned fruit cocktail (in juice or syrup)
- 15.25 ounces Yellow cake mix
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Open the can of fruit cocktail and pour it (including the juice or syrup) into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the fruit cocktail. Do not stir.
Melt the butter and drizzle it evenly over the cake mix layer, covering as much of the surface as possible.
Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top for added flavor. If adding nuts, evenly scatter them over the surface as well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler cake to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
