How to make Cakey Strawberry Cobbler:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C) and spray two 20 ounce oven safe baking dishes with nonstick baking spray.  Click for 20 ounce oven safe baking dishes.

For the strawberry cobbler filling:

Rinse the strawberries, gently dry the berries with paper towel, then slice in half or quarters.

In a medium mixing bowl, gently fold together the cut strawberries, 2 ½ tbsp sugar, lemon juice and instant tapioca.

Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dishes.

For the cobbler batter topping:

In a small bowl, mix together the flour, 2 tbsp sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Press the butter in with a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Click for a pastry blender.

Pour the very hot water into the bowl and stir just until combined.

Drop the batter mixture by spoonful evenly over the fruit mixture in each dish.

For the sugar topping:

Evenly sprinkle the top of the batter with the coarse Turbinado sugar, divided evenly over each dish.

Place the baking dishes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is cooked through and golden and strawberries are tender.

Allow to cool 5 or 10 minutes. Top with ice cream if desired, serve and enjoy.
