I used 100 grams of raw sugar for the cake, but if you prefer it sweeter, use up to 150 grams.

Cake-Style Blackberry Cobbler

A cobbler is a deep-dish fruit dessert typically consisting of a fruit base and a slightly sweet biscuit topping or pie dough topping. Traditionally the fruit stew is the base for the topping, but variations can include the biscuits on the bottom, and some even use batter in place of biscuit dough. The common belief is that the name came from the biscuit topping’s resemblance to cobblestones. The ideal cobbler topping should be light and fluffy underneath, to soak up all those juices, but firm and golden crispy on the top.
You can make a cobbler from any type of fruit. Use a single type, or experiment with different combinations of your favourites. Frozen fruit is also fine, but make sure it is properly thawed before you use it. Serve the cobbler warm, with a scoop or two of good vanilla ice cream.

The creamy Greek yoghurt dressing uses a rejuvenating and elegant touch with the addition of saffron. With its contrasting flavours, vibrant bright colours, fresh herbs and toasted nuts, this salad is definitely bound to impress your guests and the family.

Enjoy this salad as an appetizer or even as a light lunch, Add some roasted chicken, steak, or chickpeas if you want to make it more filling. If halloumi isn't your thing, use crispy tofu instead.
