How to Make a Chocolate Cobbler
Speaking of cobblers, I'm sure you're familiar with Peach Cobbler and Apple Cobbler, but did you know there is also a Chocolate Cobbler? I had never heard of a chocolate cobbler until recently. Someone brought one to a family gathering. It looked way too good to pass up (like I would ever pass up chocolate). I was determined to learn how to make one but I wondered how the center stays pudding-like while the outside bakes like a cake. I'm really not that much of a cook so I wasn't sure I could pull it off. Well I did and it was amazing.
This recipe is easy to follow. You'll be enjoying your own homemade Chocolate Cobbler in no time at all.

Chocolate Cobbler Recipe
The first step in making any recipe is gathering all the necessary ingredients. Here's what you'll need for this delightful treat:
6 Tablespoons Butter
1 Cup Self Rising Flour
3/4 Cup White Sugar
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Flavoring)
1 Cup White Sugar
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 and 1/2 Cups Boiling Water
1 Cup Self Rising Flour
3/4 Cup White Sugar
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Flavoring)
1 Cup White Sugar
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 and 1/2 Cups Boiling Water
Preparation:
Now that we have all the ingredients, let's get started with the preparation!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This is an essential step in baking as it ensures that your dessert cooks evenly. While the oven is preheating, take an 8x8 baking dish and melt 6 tablespoons of butter in it. You can do this by placing the butter into the baking dish and placing it inside the oven. Be sure to keep an eye on it to prevent the butter from burning.
Once your butter is melted and your oven is preheated, it's time to mix your dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, stir together 1 cup of self-rising flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. This mixture is the base of your chocolate cobbler and will give it its rich, chocolaty flavor.
Next, stir in 1/2 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The milk will help to moisten the flour and sugar, while the vanilla extract will add a hint of flavor that complements the chocolate perfectly. Stir these ingredients until they are well combined.

Spoon the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Then, stir together 1 cup of white sugar and 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder. Sprinkle the mixture over the batter.
Boil 1 1/2 cups of water and then pour it over the top of the mixture.

Bake for 30 minutes or until it appears set. Serve warm with ice cream.
Well . . . we were out of ice cream, but it didn't matter. This turned out so well! It requires typical ingredients that most people have around the kitchen all the time and it doesn't take long to prepare. You can whip it together almost anytime without having to run to the grocery store for that one odd ingredient that you never have around.
This is what it looked like after I pulled it out of my oven. You can smell the chocolate, can't you?
