Ingredients

For the Cobbler:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

For the Berry Filling:

  • 2 cups frozen blackberries
  • 2 cups frozen blueberries
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 whole orange zest of 1 grated
  • to taste vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

Directions:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined.
  • To the dry mixture, add the lightly beaten eggs, milk, and canola oil. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!
  • In a separate bowl, mix the frozen blackberries, frozen blueberries, orange juice, and the grated orange zest. This will be the juicy filling of your cobbler.
  • Grease your 9-inch round cake pan. Pour the berry mixture into the bottom of the pan, then gently spoon the cobbler batter over the top. Spread it out evenly; it doesn’t have to cover every berry.
  • Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside. Carefully lower your cake pan onto the trivet.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid and set it to cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow a natural release for about 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
  • Once the pressure is released, carefully remove the pan from the Instant Pot. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For the ultimate indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Trivet
  • 9-inch round cake pan or a suitable baking dish

Notes

  • Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for a better texture in the batter.
  • Mix the berries with the sugar before adding the orange juice for extra sweetness.
  • Experiment with different berries; raspberries or strawberries can also work beautifully.
  • Let the cobbler sit for a few minutes after cooking to allow it to set before serving.
