About this recipe

It’s super easy and quick to whip up this lemon blueberry cobbler with our cake mix hack.

Simply dump blueberries, sugar, cornstarch and lemon zest into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and give it a mix before topping with a box of cake mix straight out of the package. Top with more lemon zest, then slice up a stick of butter and arrange the butter pats evenly over the cake mix. Bake for 50 minutes, and the butter will melt into the cake mix, creating a golden brown crust.
