Blackberry cobbler

Since fresh blackberries are everywhere right now I decided i wanted to try out a new recipe for cobbler. I came across this one on the pioneer womans site. She never fails me so i know it will be good !


Ingredients
1 stick Butter
1-1/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Self-Rising Flour
1 cup Milk
2 cups Blackberries (frozen Or Fresh)
Preparation Instructions
Melt butter in a microwavable dish. Pour 1 cup of sugar and flour into a mixing bowl, whisking in milk. Mix well. Then, pour in melted butter and whisk it all well together. Butter a baking dish.
Now rinse and pat dry the blackberries. Pour the batter into the buttered baking dish. Sprinkle blackberries over the top of the batter; distributing evenly. Sprinkle ¼ cup sugar over the top.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until golden and bubbly. If you desire, sprinkle an additional teaspoon of sugar over the cobbler 10 minutes before it’s done.

drippy coconut cake

So i love love love anything with coconut in it and when i found this recipe on My 3 monsters I thought I have to make this very soon.
yellow cake mix {prepared according to package directions in a 9x13 pan}

1 can {14.5 oz.} sweetened condensed milk

1 can {about 15 oz.} cream of coconut -- I found this on the alcoholic drink mixers aisle in a 21 oz. bottle

1 container COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

Bake cake according to package directions. When it comes out of the oven, poke holes all over the top of the cake with a fork. Mix sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut in a bowl and pour over the cake while it is still warm. The coconut yumminess will seep into the cake as it cools, making it super-moist and delicious. When cake has cooled completely, frost with COOL WHIP and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. The longer it chills, the better it gets.

Coca cola cake

This is horrible that i keep finding all these yummy looking cake recipes. Especially since i am trying to eat better lol. This recipe also comes from the country cook


1 box (15.25 oz) Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
1 small box (4 oz.) Instant Chocolate Pudding
Ingredients listed on back of cake mix box (eggs & oil - water not needed)
1 1/3 cups Coca Cola
1 stick unsalted butter
3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
6 tbsp. heavy cream or milk
1 pound (or about 2 cups) of confectioners sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350F degrees
Spray 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
But instead of adding water, you will replace that amount with Coca-Cola.
Add in dry instant pudding mix to the batter as well.
With this mix, it called for 1 1/3 cups of water, I substituted that with 1 1/3 cups of Coca Cola.

Pour batter into baking dish and bake according to package directions (usually 35-39 minutes).
Just before cake is ready to come out of the oven, start making frosting.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, start melting one stick of butter/margarine.
Add in cocoa powder and heavy cream (or milk, if using) and stir.Then stir in confectioners sugar.At this point I'll grab a whisk and stir briskly to get all the lumps out.
Take mixture off heat and add in vanilla extract.Once cake comes out of oven, pour frosting over warm cake. Do your best to spread it out evenly.

Butterfinger cake

I love to make cakes for special occasions or potlucks and cannot wait to make this one that i found on The country cooks blog.

1 box marble cake mix
(ingredients listed on back of cake mix box - eggs, oil & water)
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1 jar (12 oz.) caramel topping
1 large bar (or a handful of snack size bars) Butterfinger candy
1 (8 oz.) tub whipped topping, thawed
chocolate syrup to drizzle on top (optional)

reheat oven to 350F degrees

Spray 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Prepare cake as directed on back of box. Pour into baking dish and bake according to cooking times on back of box.

When it comes out of oven, allow to cool for just a few minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with caramel topping.
Now, start poking holes in the cake with a fork. Really get in there and stab that sucker.
You want plenty of crevices for the caramel mixture to go into.
Drizzle caramel mixture over cake.
Put cake in the fridge to let it finish cooling. Once it is cooled, spread whipped topping over entire cake.
Then sprinkle with crushed Butterfinger candy.
keep cake in the fridge until ready to serve (because of the whipped topping)
