How to Make Cherry Cobbler With Shortcake Topping
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- **Make the Shortcake Topping:**
- In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups cake flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
- Add ½ cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- With the motor running, slowly pour in ¼ cup heavy cream through the feed tube until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll into an 8x8-inch square.
- Trim the edges neatly and cut into 9 equal squares. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- **Make the Cherry Filling:**
- In a medium bowl, gently combine 4 cups fresh or frozen cherries, ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Add 1 tbsp Kirsch (optional) and stir into the cherry mixture. Mix well.
- Grease an 8x8x2-inch baking pan with softened butter.
- Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared pan.
- Dot the top with 2 tbsp of chilled butter, cut into small pieces.
- Arrange the chilled shortcake squares on top of the filling.
- Brush the shortcake squares with 1 tbsp heavy cream and sprinkle with 1 tbsp granulated sugar.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the shortcake is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a light dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
