This Lemon Strawberry Cobbler recipe, made in a Dutch oven, is perfect for camping or at home. Fresh strawberries and cake mix create a delicious and easy dessert.

We enjoy using a Dutch Oven while camping because it allows for cooking outside, and food tastes better prepared in cast iron.

Sometimes, we stack Dutch ovens, allowing us to cook dinner and dessert simultaneously. That is what we did when we created this fruity cobbler.

This camping dessert recipe is fun and easy to prepare. We suggest eating it warm.

This combination of fresh berries and a lemon cake mix creates a sweet sauce topped with a thick-crusted cake.

Strawberry Lemon Dump Cake Ingredients

This simple camping cake includes the following ingredients:

• strawberries
• vanilla pudding mix
• lemon cake mix
• sparkling water or soda
• butter

I used sparkling water, but a lemon-lime soda works just as well.

You also need charcoal, a Dutch oven, and a Dutch Oven liner.

Dutch Oven Dump Cake Tip
Try to get all of the cake mix covered with soda or butter; otherwise, you get powdery spots.

How to Make Lemon Strawberry Cobbler With Cake Mix

This is another dump-and-bake Dutch oven recipe. The easy steps are:

1. Prepare 25+ charcoal briquettes.
2. Line the bottom of your Dutch oven. Buy them or make your own.
3. Wash the strawberries and cut each in half.
4. Put the strawberries in the bottom of your lined Dutch oven.
5. Cut the stick of butter into small pieces and place half over the strawberries.
6. Mix the dry pudding with the dry cake mix.
7. Sprinkle that cake mixture evenly over the strawberries.
8. Scatter the rest of the butter over the cake mix.
9. Slowly pour 12-16 oz of carbonated liquid on top, covering the powdery mix.
10. Cover the Dutch oven.
11. Put the oven over a small circle of eight pieces of prepared charcoal.
12. Place 17 coals on the lid of the Dutch oven.
13. Bake the cake for 45-60 minutes. Every 15 minutes, rotate the lid and the pot a quarter turn in opposite directions.
14. Serve the cobbler warm. Optional: top with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

This recipe uses strawberries, but you can substitute other berries or cherries. For depth of flavor, you can use lemon pudding mix.
