Southern Chocolate Cobbler is a classic and delicious dessert that features a rich chocolate sauce underneath a layer of cake-like topping. It’s a comforting and indulgent treat that’s easy to make. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
For the chocolate layer:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder for the chocolate layer.
- Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. The batter will be thick.
- Spread the batter evenly into an ungreased 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
- Pour the boiling water over the entire mixture. Do not stir.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the top is set and the edges are bubbly.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. The chocolate layer will be at the bottom, and the topping will be on the top.
- Serve warm, and you can optionally top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy your Southern Chocolate Cobbler!
