Skillet Blackberry Cobbler

"You're going to love the rich, fruity flavors of this easy-to-make Blackberry Skillet Cobbler. Perfectly baked in a cast-iron skillet, this dessert combines juicy blackberries with a soft golden brown cake on top that's perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can prep it in just 15 minutes and enjoy as soon as it comes out of the oven. This is such an easy recipe; you can make it before the oven pre-heats! If you love a fresh fruit cobbler but also like cake, combine the two in one pan! This recipe is basically a dump cake. Make up the batter, pour it into the pan, and add cups of blackberries. As it cooks, the cake rises and enfolds the blackberries. It's topped off with Demerara sugar for a sweet crunch in every bite.  I make this in a cast iron skillet, and I think it makes all the difference. I love using cast iron because it naturally lends itself to creating crispy edges, so adding the butter to the bottom of the skillet really takes it over the top. You can make this in a deep dish pie pan or an 8 x 8 baking dish, it just takes a little longer to cook than in an iron skillet."
