This super easy Blackberry Cobbler Cake has so many names you may be more familiar with cobbler, buckle, shortcake, whatever you name this it's a delicious dessert made with sweet fresh blackberries!

Sometimes we use other fruits instead of berries because this batter is so versatile and so simple you don't need to like baking or be a good one to make this dessert.

Growing up we went blackberry picking as soon as the season was in full bloom and berries grew wild in the fields in Utica, (my hometown in Central N.Y.) and were plentiful.

Another few favorite fruit desserts we love are Red Raspberry Pie and Red Raspberry Cobbler remains from my childhood some fantastic memories of my mom's baking.
