Easy Carrot Cake Cobbler

You’ve never had carrot cake like this!!

Trust me when I say that this is one of those dessert that will make you stop and close your eyes and think “oh-my-goodness”…it is pure heaven!

Basically we combined the deliciousness of a carrot cake with the ease of a dump cake…and topped with with a brown sugar walnut crumble, just like a cobbler!

I call it a carrot cake cobbler, but whatever you want to call it, it’s plain delicious!!

Imagine, warm out of the oven…a little bit ooey-gooey in the middle…a sweet crunch on top with the crumble…and melty vanilla ice cream to pull it all together. Yep, it’s THAT good!

And it is EASY! All you have to do is mix the ingredients, sprinkle on the topping, and bake! If I can do this, anyone can!

This would be a fun dessert to make for Easter dinner, if you’re looking for something a little new and different. But really it’s good anytime of year!

How to Make Carrot Cake Cobbler

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prep your baking dish with non-stick spray.

Whisk together the dry cake ingredients in a large bowl and the wet cake ingredients (including shredded carrots in a separate bowl.

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of the dry ingredients, stirring as you pour.

To Make the Crumble Topping

Whisk together the sugar, light brown sugar, and chopped walnuts and sprinkle on top of your batter in the baking dish.

Slowly pour the hot water over the top of the cake. Bake for 45-55 minutes. It will still be a bit soft inside, but you don’t want it to be liquid.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes so the cobbler can set, then scoop and serve with ice cream.

What are the Best Toppings?

I love to serve cobbler (any flavor!) with vanilla ice cream. When it melts and soaks into the cake part…ohhhh…sooo good!

You can also top this carrot cobbler with caramel sauce or a little extra cinnamon sugar. It’s all good!

Can You Make this Recipe Gluten Free or Dairy Free?

Yes and (mostly) yes!

To make this cobbler gluten free, simply swap the regular flour for gluten free all purpose flour. You may also want to check the packaging for the other ingredients to make sure that they are certified gluten free, just in case.

To make this cake lactose free, use your favorite nondairy milk. We love almond milk and cashew milk! There IS butter in this recipe, which has a negligible amount of lactose, so I personally don’t worry about that. For allergies, you may need to find a butter substitute.
