Description

This Southern Chocolate Cobbler is a decadent and moist dessert featuring a rich chocolate batter topped with a luscious sauce that forms during baking. It’s perfect for chocolate lovers and easy to prepare, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Topping

  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter to the dry mixture and mix until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  4. Pour batter into dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and pour the batter evenly into it, spreading it smoothly across the bottom.
  5. Prepare sauce mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the hot water and brown sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves fully.
  6. Add topping: Pour the hot brown sugar water mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish; do not stir to preserve the layered effect. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top if using.
  7. Bake the cobbler: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden, the top is set, and the center remains slightly gooey.
  8. Cool slightly: Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes to set before serving.
  9. Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special dessert experience.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add chocolate chips as a topping.
  • Do not stir the hot water and brown sugar mixture into the batter; pour over to create a delicious sauce layer.
  • Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
  • Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to complement the chocolate richness.
