	1 cup self rising flour
	½ cup sugar
	2 tablespoons cocoa
	½ cup milk
	2 tablespoons oil
	1 teaspoon vanilla
	¾ cup sugar
	¼ cup cocoa

This will be a thin mixture. Pour on top of the thicker first layer. Bake at 350° F for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not over cook.

I made this dessert often when my children were little and Jim was paid once a month. At the end of the month money was in short supply. This dessert was cheap and very good.

	1 small can peaches
	1 teaspoon vanilla extract (use almond flavoring with cherries)

You may use any kind of fruit: blueberries, cherries, or peaches. Fresh fruit is best.

Put fruit in 9 x 13 inch pan. Pour cinnamon sugar and vanilla extract over the top of fruit. Take the cake mix and sift it onto the top of the fruit. Dot the top with butter. Cook until the top is golden brown.

	2-3 cups of hot peaches or whole hot blackberries (sweetened to taste)
	½ cup of self-rising flour
	½ cup of sugar
	½ cup of butter or margarine
	½ cup of milk

Place sweetened peaches (blackberries) in a pre-sprayed 9 x 13 inch glass pan. While sweetened peaches are getting hot in a 350° F oven, mix together milk, flour, sugar, and melted margarine. When peaches (blackberries) are hot, remove from oven and pour flour mixture evenly over the fruit. Cook for 30 minutes, or until the crust rises to the top and gets golden brown. Remove from oven and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

We had peaches and blackberries on the farm, so we always froze or canned some of each for the winter. This was a regular dessert at the Counts' table. There was one other thing that was sure to happen. When the cobbler came out of the oven, it always went to Daddy first, and he got his half out before anyone else was served. I really mean half of the cobbler. It didn't matter if there were 5 or 10 eating, he still got his half. At least, that's the way it seemed to me.

	1 ½ sticks of melted margarine

This dish can be used as a side dish or dessert.
