When you envision a cobbler, your mind likely conjures images of bubbling fruit in a luscious sauce, adorned with a sweet batter. It’s a classic dessert, but what if I told you that cobbler could take on a whole new dimension? Enter the old-fashioned Southern Chocolate Cobbler, a delightful creation that adheres to cobbler traditions while veering into the realm of chocolatey decadence.

Ingredients:

For the Batter:

  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 2 cups of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 cups of boiling water

For Serving:

  • Vanilla ice cream

Directions:

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F.
  2. Place the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it in the oven. Once the butter has melted, remove the dish from the oven and set it aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, milk, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Spoon this batter over the melted butter in the baking dish, but refrain from stirring.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the pan. Now, carefully pour the 3 cups of boiling water over the topping, again avoiding any stirring.
  5. Bake your creation until the top has set, which should take approximately 35-40 minutes. Keep in mind that the bottom will maintain a delightful looseness and a touch of gooeyness.
  6. Allow your Southern Chocolate Cobbler to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. For the ultimate experience, top it off with a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream. Indulge and enjoy!

This Southern Chocolate Cobbler is a delightful departure from the conventional cobbler, offering a symphony of rich chocolate flavors that are sure to please your taste buds.
