Best Chocolate Cobbler Recipe
Description
This chocolate cobbler starts with a batter made from flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. The batter is poured into a buttered baking dish, creating a tender cake layer during baking.
A topping mixture of remaining sugar and cocoa powder is sprinkled evenly over the batter, followed by chocolate chips. Boiling water is slowly poured on top without stirring, which after baking forms a gooey, fudgy sauce beneath the cakey topping.
The cobbler is baked until the center sets yet remains moist. Served warm, it pairs well with vanilla ice cream for a balanced dessert. This treat offers contrasting textures with a rich, chocolatey flavor profile.
Use a sheet pan under the baking dish to catch drips while baking. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the textures set. It can be stored refrigerated for several days or frozen for longer storage.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⅔ cups granulated sugar divided
- 6 tablespoons cocoa powder divided, unsweetened
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup milk
- 6 tablespoons butter melted and cooled (¾ stick, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- 1½ cups water boiling
- vanilla ice cream optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8x8-inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ⅔ cup sugar, ¼ cup cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir to combine into a thick batter. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, stir together the remaining sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle evenly over the batter, then sprinkle on the chocolate chips. Slowly pour the boiling water over the top of the mixture without stirring.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the center is just set. Serve slightly warm with ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- Store chocolate cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Use a sheet pan under the baking dish while baking to catch any drips.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for about 5 minutes before serving to achieve optimal texture.
