Recipe Notes

Can I Use Fresh Rhubarb?

• Yes. I opted for the canned ( see recipe card for product) version, but, fresh is definitely possible.  If you are going to fresh rhubarb, you will need additional sugar and have just one extra step.
• Use Fresh:  You will need approx 4 cups of chopped rhubarb and 1 cup of sugar. Toss the chopped rhubarb with the cup of sugar and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. 
• Proceed with recipe as noted.

Storage

Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator.  It is best to eat within 2-4 days.

My sister gave me this one about 10 or so years ago. It's so darn easy and so darn delicious, you won't be able to eat just one dish of it!

Just Three Ingredients

• Cake mix
• Frozen fruit
• Lemon lime soda

📌 (click to) Pin it For Later!

Recipe Notes

Can I Use Any Flavor Cake Mix? 

Yes!  I usually opt for a white/vanilla or yellow cake mix.  However, if you stick with a standard size box ( 15-18 oz), you can use any flavor or brand.   Also, you will only be using the dry mix, not making the cake. 

What About Fruit?

Again, yes, use your favorite frozen fruit. Keep it frozen and make sure your fruit will lay in a single layer on the bottom of your baking dish.  Other than that, it's up to you!

Lemon Lime Soda

I have used Sprite, 7-Up, Sierra Mist and generic lemon lime soda for this cobbler. They all work great.

Dry Spots

If your cobbler has a few dry spots after baking, that's OK.   Feel free to use a bit more soda to cover the entire top of the dry cake mix before baking or lightly tip the pan back and forth, so, the soda will spread more evenly.

Important!

After layering your ingredients in the pan,  DO NOT MIX!  I learned this the hard way the very first time I made it.  It will take forever to bake and won't turn out properly.
