Description
Make a comforting, Southern-style chocolate cobbler that bakes into a cake top layer over a rich, gooey fudge sauce bottom.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold water, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and boiling water until the sugar dissolves, creating a thin syrup.
- Carefully and slowly pour this hot syrup mixture over the top of the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The top will look like a cake, and the bottom will form a fudge sauce.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- Serve this cobbler warm, straight from the dish.
- Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the best experience.
- You can substitute buttermilk for the milk if you prefer a slightly tangier cake layer.
