Decadent Fruit Cocktail Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream

Ingredients

- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 can (15 oz) fruit cocktail, undrained
- 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, and salt. Stir until evenly combined.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the undrained fruit cocktail to the dry mixture. Stir gently until the batter is just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is perfect.
5. Add Cherries: Fold in the chopped maraschino cherries to distribute them throughout the batter. This adds an extra burst of sweetness and color.
6. Pour into Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake the Cobbler: Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This gives the juices time to set.
9. Serve: Cut the cobbler into squares and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
