    Red Velvet-Berry Cobbler-SL-7/14

    This is an excellent cobbler. I measured the berries on the heavy side, so I might have put in more like 7 cups rather than 6, but other wise did as the recipe states, even the Cream Cheese Ice Cream (though I used a epicurious recipe and subbed half and half for heavy cream) and it is also great!

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------

    Makes 6 to 8 servings


    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
    6 cups assorted fresh berries (We used 2 cups each blackberries,
    raspberries, and blueberries.)
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    2 large eggs
    2 tablespoons red liquid food coloring
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup buttermilk
    1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    Preparation
    1. Preheat oven to 350°. Stir together cornstarch and 1/2 cup sugar. Toss
    berries with cornstarch mixture, and spoon into a lightly greased 11- x
    7-inch baking dish.
    2. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy;
    gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a
    time, beating just until blended after each addition. Stir in red food
    coloring and vanilla until blended.
    3. Combine flour, cocoa, and salt. Stir together buttermilk, vinegar, and
    baking soda in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup. (Mixture will bubble.) Add
    flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture,
    beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed until blended
    after each addition. Spoon batter over berry mixture.
    4. Bake at 350° for 45 to 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in
    center of cake topping comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes.

    Switch It Up Chocolate-Cherry Cobbler: Omit red food coloring. Substitute
    6 cups pitted fresh cherries (about 2 1/2 to 3 lb.) for berries. Decrease
    flour to 1 cup, and increase unsweetened cocoa to 1/4 cup. Proceed with
    recipe as directed.?For a Chocolate-Cherry Cobbler sundae, top scoops of
    Chocolate-Cherry Cobbler with vanilla ice cream, Hot Fudge Sauce,
    sweetened whipped cream, and fresh cherries (with stems).

    THat sounds fantastic, I was thinking of strawberry shortcake, but I think I want to make this.

    Can you use splenda in the cobbler? My dad is diabetic and and I have never used a sugar substitute before.

    I really don't see why you couldn't, after all it is RED, not browned.

    Well, I have always thought that cooking with Splenda would not brown things like cookies or cakes, so thus, since this is red-not browned, it would be okay.
