Description
This Magic Lemon Cobbler is a bright, tangy dessert with a tender cake-like top and a syrupy lemon layer that creates a lovely contrast of sweet and tart flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (an 8×8 or similar-size dish works well) with butter or nonstick spray.
- Mix the melted butter and sugar until combined. Add milk, flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Mix lemon juice and lemon zest in a separate bowl, then pour over the batter; do not stir.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick in the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream enhances the flavors. Dust with powdered sugar for a light finish.
