Chocolate Cobbler 🍫🥄🔥 Rich, Gooey, and Decadently Comforting

Chocolate cobbler is like a cross between a molten lava cake and a pudding — rich, gooey, and topped with a crisp, brownie-like crust.

Served warm with ice cream, it’s the ultimate chocolate lover’s dessert.

Ingredients (Serves 8)

For the batter

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1½ cups hot water

Optional for serving

• Vanilla ice cream
• Whipped cream

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Make the batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Spread batter evenly into the baking dish.

Step 3: Add the topping

In a small bowl, mix sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle evenly over the batter. Carefully pour hot water over the top — do not stir.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the top is set and slightly crisp but gooey chocolate sauce bubbles underneath.

Step 5: Serve

Spoon into bowls while warm, making sure to scoop some sauce from the bottom. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Flavor Variations

• Add espresso powder for a mocha twist
• Stir in chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) for crunch
• Swap vanilla extract for almond extract for a subtle nutty flavor
• Use brown sugar in the topping for deeper caramel notes

Pro Tips

• Don’t stir after pouring the hot water — it creates the gooey sauce layer
• Bake until just set; overbaking can dry out the cobbler
• Best enjoyed warm, but leftovers can be microwaved for that gooey texture again
• Serve straight from the dish for a rustic, family-style dessert

Final Thoughts

Chocolate Cobbler is warm, gooey, and utterly indulgent — the kind of dessert that comforts with every bite. Rich chocolate sauce and a crisp top make it a chocolate dream come true.

Scoop it. Drizzle it. Dive into chocolate bliss. 🍫🥄🔥
