Chocolate Cobbler
I can’t believe I’ve been blogging about food (and my recipes)Β for 9 months and have not shared chocolate cobbler with everyone. Shame on me. I was inspired to make this dessert 4 or 5 years ago after having something very similar at a restaurant… it was so good that I had to figure out how to make it. Well I found this recipe online (been too long, can’t recall the source) and it is a really good copycat. Β For a while there, this was my go-to… need a dessert? I’ll bring chocolate cobbler! Β SoΒ nudged byΒ my husband having a chocolate sweet tooth lately and having company over for dinner on Sunday, I thought I’d pull this guy out of retirement. And then I was reminded how good it is, and I’ll have to find an excuse to make it again soon.
This recipe is really simple, and it’s likely you’ve got Β everything in the pantry to make this. It’s also a little strange – calls for you to pour boiling water over the batter… say what?!? Yes. You read right. So do it, and don’t ask questions. I whipped this together in about 10 minutes and it bakes for a little over 30. You must serve it with vanilla ice cream (and specifically, Breyer’s Natural Vanilla – the kind with the little black vanilla specks). Serve it hot with the ice cream melting into the chocolate sauce – yum, yum, yum. (I thought I’d give you the mental picture, because I forgot to snap one with the ice cream dangit… and of course there is none left). Β So without further hesitation – here is the infamous chocolate cobbler. Hope you enjoy!
Chocolate Cobbler
6 tbsp butter
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar (for batter)
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder (for batter)
1/2 cup milk (if you don’t use whole, use part half and half to thicken up the milk)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar (for sprinkling)
1/4 cup cocoa powder (for sprinkling)
1 1/2 cup boiling water
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.) Melt butter in an 8″x8″ (or slightly larger) casserole dish while oven preheats.
3.) In a medium size bowl, stir flour, baking soda, salt, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa. Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder and set aside.
4.) Remove dish from oven and spoon batter over melted butter. Sprinkle the sugar/cocoa powder mixture on top of batter and butter. Pour boiling water on top.
5.) Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until batter in the center is fully cooked.
