Triple Berry Skillet Tea Cobbler
With Labor Day coming up soon, you’ll need some simple and tasty Red White and Blue themed treats for the family to enjoy! This will definitely be a treat for everyone! Simple Triple Berry Tea Cobbler made in a cast iron skillet with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries on top of soft, light and moist tea infused cake.
This treat is my version of a “red, white and blue” dessert for Labor Day. You probably noticed that I don’t go crazy with candy and food-colored holiday treats around here. I try to create a color pallet with real ingredients, versus food coloring and candy. (Not to say that I don’t like to play around with those, it’s just rare.) I find that berries are a great way to “paint” your food and make for a beautiful color pallet (and a tasty one)!
So, for this Labor Day, I will be making this “Red, White and Blue” Berry Tea Cobbler for dessert and serving it with a tall glass of Bigelow tea.
So you know what I did this weekend? I baked something just for fun! I made some Blueberry Green Tea Scones on Sunday morning and I did not take photos or prepare a recipe to be shared, it was just for fun. More like experimenting really but still just as a fun project. The scones turned out so good that I thought to play around some more with infusing tea into baked goods.
Loads of berries definitely help with the moisture in the cobbler but also with a bright flavor. This is a great themed red, white, and blue dessert without using any artificial food colorings.

can i bake this in a regular baking sheet, i do not have a cast iron skillet?
You can use like a 9 inch round cake pan but remember to watch your bake time as the thickness of the pan will be a bit different.
Your skillet looks great, and very tasty. I bet the lemon add tea adds a level of brightness.
