Chocolate Cobbler
I know I say I’m not a dessert person – both because it’s not my go to crave-able food and I don’t like to measure… But, every once in a while, I do bake. Even more rare, is for me to serve a dessert (that is not fruit) on a weeknight…Now that I’ve gotten all of the apologies out of the way, I had to share this recipe. I had never heard of a chocolate cobbler, but came across this one from The Pioneer Woman and it is a great and EASY throw together dessert for a special weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 7 TBS Cocoa Powder Divided
- 3/4 Cup Sugar, white Divided
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 1/3 Cup Butter melted
- 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar Packed
- 2 Cups Hot Tap Water
Ingredients
|
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, 3 tablespoons of the cocoa, and ½ cup of the white sugar. Reserve the remaining cocoa and sugar.
- Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla to the flour mixture. Mix until smooth. The mixture will be rather thick.
- Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8-inch baking dish, square or oval.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining white sugar, brown sugar, and remaining 4 tablespoons of cocoa. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
- Pour the hot tap water over all. Warning – DO NOT STIR – even if it looks really weird, this is the way this works.
- Bake for about 40 minutes at 350. The top should have formed a crust and there should be lots of gooey chocolate on the bottom.
- Let stand for a few minutes and then serve in bowls – stand alone or with some vanilla ice cream…
