Chocolate Cobbler 🍫

A rich and decadent dessert that magically creates its own gooey chocolate sauce while baking, this Chocolate Cobbler is perfect for satisfying any chocolate lover’s sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (for batter)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for batter)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 cups boiling water

Directions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unsalted butter in a 13×9-inch baking dish and put it in the oven until the butter melts completely.
  2. Prepare the Batter:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract to form a thick batter, similar to cookie dough.
  3. Prepare the Topping:
    In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, and the light brown sugar. This mixture will create the rich chocolate sauce during baking.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler:
    Once the butter has melted in the baking dish, spread the batter evenly over the butter. Do not stir the batter into the butter; just spread it out across the dish.
  5. Add the Topping and Water:
    Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the batter. Then, carefully pour the boiling water over the entire dish. Do not stir; just let the water settle over the topping.
  6. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set, cracked, and slightly firm, but the center remains gooey and soft. The cobbler will create a self-saucing chocolate layer at the bottom.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    Allow the cobbler to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. For extra decadence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Check for Doneness: The cobbler should have a cracked top with a gooey center. If it jiggles too much, bake for an additional 5 minutes, but don’t overbake as the center should stay soft.
  • Enhance the Flavor: Add a pinch of instant espresso powder to the batter to intensify the chocolate flavor.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for that fresh-out-of-the-oven gooey texture.

FAQs:

1. Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
This dessert is best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but you can prepare the dry ingredients in advance and assemble the cobbler just before baking. Reheating works well, but the gooey center might firm up a bit.

2. What can I serve with Chocolate Cobbler?
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream are classic pairings that balance the richness of the chocolate. You can also drizzle caramel sauce or add fresh berries for an extra layer of flavor.

3. Can I use a different size pan?
A 13×9-inch baking dish works best for this recipe, but you can use other sizes. Just adjust the baking time accordingly. A smaller dish may need more time, and a larger dish might need less.

Enjoy the ultimate chocolate indulgence!
