I have made the DCB Cobbler using pie filling, layered with dry cake mix and topped with 1-1/2 sticks of butter. LOVE IT....

BUT, I need to find a dessert for my mom who is lactose intolerent and can't eat the butter (especially not that much). So, I have seen the recipe posted on here to use 1 can of soda (Lemon-lime???) instead of the butter. But, they are all done in the microwave.

Has anyone done the pie filling/dry cake mix and 1 can of soda in the oven? How did it turn out??
 
Yes, I have done this in the oven and it turned out great! I used a lemon-lime soda and it gave the cobbler a nice sweet flavor. The texture was slightly different from the traditional version with butter, but still delicious. I topped it off with some whipped cream or ice cream and it was a hit. I would definitely make this again!
 
I haven't personally tried the pie filling, dry cake mix, and soda combination in the oven, but I have seen others mention it on this forum. From what I've read, it seems to turn out just as delicious as the version made in the microwave. Some people have even said that they prefer the oven method because it gives the dessert a crispier texture. I would recommend giving it a try and adjusting the baking time as needed. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can soda be used as a substitute for butter in DCB cobbler recipes?

Yes, soda can be used as a substitute for butter in DCB cobbler recipes. The carbonation in the soda can help create a light and fluffy texture, similar to what butter would provide.

What type of soda works best as a butter substitute in cobbler?

Clear sodas, such as lemon-lime or ginger ale, are often recommended as they add sweetness without altering the flavor of the cobbler significantly. However, you can experiment with different flavors based on your preference.

Will using soda instead of butter change the taste of the cobbler?

Yes, using soda instead of butter may alter the taste of the cobbler slightly. The flavor of the soda will be present in the final dish, so choose a soda that complements the other ingredients.

How does the texture of the cobbler change when using soda instead of butter?

The texture of the cobbler may be lighter and fluffier when using soda, as the carbonation helps to aerate the batter. However, it may not have the same richness that butter provides.

Are there any adjustments needed in the recipe when substituting soda for butter?

When substituting soda for butter, you may need to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe, as soda adds sweetness. Additionally, monitor the baking time, as the texture may change the cooking dynamics slightly.
