Cherry Olive Oil Cobbler by @breadandbasil

Yields1 Serving

Makes one 9x13 pan

 2 cups all purpose flour
 4 tsp baking powder
 ½ tsp baking soda
 ½ tsp kosher salt
 1 tbsp plus an 1-3 additional tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
 1 cup heavy cream
 ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon Colavita Essential Olive Oil, divided
 5 cups pitted sweet cherries, fresh or frozen
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl and mix well. Add the heavy cream and ¼ cup olive oil and stir just until no dry spots remain. Set aside.

2

In a 9x13 baking dish, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread around the pan. Add the cherries, 1 to 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (to your preference), and vanilla extract, and toss to combine.

3

Drop small pieces of the prepared dough scattered on top of the cherry mixture, leaving some cherries peeking out. The dough will expand when baking.

4

Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the cherries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes to thicken before serving with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
