Chocolate Cobbler

Chocolate cobbler?! Yep. I did not create this recipe, but you can find the original recipe here! It is moist, chocolate deliciousness. If you have an appreciation for molten lava cake and/or chocolate pudding, then you will more than likely LOVE this. The texture is really nothing like a traditional cobbler but I suppose the name comes from the sauce that the magically forms beneath the cake while you bake it. Matt went nuts over it, and he rarely gets all that excited over desserts. The best part is that it is not only very easy to put together, but you most likely already have all the ingredients you need. Make sure you pour yourself a nice, cold glass of milk too. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE COBBLER

Your ingredients!

Start by putting your flour, sugar, cocoa and baking powder in a medium-large sized mixing bowl.

 Add your milk.

Add in your melted butter.

Add your vanilla extract.

Mix it all up! (A whisk works best)

Pour the batter into an 8 inch square baking dish. I used what I had, but the original recipe calls for a glass dish.

In a clean mixing bowl, add the rest of your sugar, brown sugar and cocoa.

Mix it up!

Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of your batter.

The next step is a little strange, but this is what causes the delicious sauce to form underneath the cake. Heat up your water and pour it on top of the cake. Do. Not. Stir.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 mins. When you take it out it might look a lot like this....aka a hot mess. Don't be fooled. It is YUMMY
