Description
Old-Fashioned Chocolate Cobbler is a rich and gooey dessert that combines a chocolate cake layer with a decadent sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 cups very hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup cocoa powder until evenly combined.
- Stir the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients until a thick batter forms. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir.
- Very carefully pour the hot water over the batter and cocoa/sugar mixture. Do not stir.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the center is just barely set. It should still be quite gooey and very sauce-like on the bottom.
- Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use 2 cups self-rising flour instead of all-purpose and omit the baking powder and salt.
- Make sure the water is very hot, just shy of boiling, before pouring over the batter.
- Once you’ve added the topping and hot water, resist the urge to stir! The water seeps through the powder, into the batter, creating lovely layers once baked.
