Southern Chocolate Cobbler Recipe

Southern Chocolate Cobbler Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup milk

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Topping:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/4 cups boiling water

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Mix the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Add the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.

Pour the Boiling Water: Gently pour 1 1/4 cups of boiling water over the batter and topping. Do not stir—this will create the gooey chocolate sauce as it bakes.

Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is set but the bottom is still gooey.

Serve Warm: Let the cobbler sit for a few minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls, making sure to get both the cake and the gooey chocolate sauce from the bottom. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
