I’m sorry you had troubles! I find that the high amount of baking powder affects the taste. Sprinkle evenly over the batter. I am delurking to tell you that I ran across your blog recently and just fell madly in love! One of me favorites! I’m glad you liked it, Annie! This is not like the dessert at Cracker Barrel while Cracker Barrel’s was oohey and gooey as it was pulled out of the over before it was done it didn’t make a sauce at the bottom of the pan. However, there are ways to prepare a fantastic holiday dinner while still saving a few dollars. And, the fact that the recipe was originally posted on this website on June 18 (my birthday) makes it a “fate has intervened” situation :). I literally want to jump in that and swim around in the chocolate. But can’t lay my hands on it and need it for friends so came to the net. If you have had a pudding cake, you have had what is suddenly being called “cobbler”. I love this! Just found this recipe a couple hours ago… immediately had to make it. This looks amazing. I’ve made it many times. Either should be fine. With a delicious brownie-like topping and a rich fudge sauce on the bottom, this Chocolate Cobbler is like a lava cake but so much easier to make. 🙂. Sprinkle evenly over the batter. As you know…I don’t bake, so we will see what happens! That’s a common problem. I made this for my husband and I last night, and while I used dark chocolate cocoa powder and probably cooked the cobbler a bit too long (I was distracted with dishes), it was absolutely divine! It’s in the first sentence after preheating the oven. I imagine every bite is pure delish. So if you are looking for a quick and easy dessert to satisfy even the strongest chocolate craving, this might be what you are looking for. Thanks for sharing! the cacophony expresses the total calamity that was brought about as my entire family scrambled to eat this cocoa powder goodness. Hubs and I were too full from dinner to eat right away, but had today. Only known treatment. I fully credited you as my source and provided a link to your blog. © 2018.  The sauce is awesome! Looks fabulous, and yep–gotta have ice cream with it. Thanks. This chocolate cobbler is just amazing and really satisfying for days that I CRAVE chocolate. We ordered warm chocolate melting cake every single night on the cruise with two, not one, scoops of ice cream. The close up photography really makes me want to make more sweets! Hi, Sara. I’m glad that I married a chocolate lover like myself:), I did not know about the existence of something so luscious, Jen. Well I suppose it’s a combo of the recipe and the photo but this cobbler looks outstanding nonetheless. Holy melted Hersheys, Batman. Yummy!!! Once the batter is in the baking dish, don’t stir it. I have been making this for eons..and it is just as scrumptious as it looks, add a dab of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream and it’s out of this world. About 5 minutes in the oven should reheat it well and make it nice and gooey again. which way tastes better ? I still don’t know how that happens in the cooking process but it is delicious. I’m definitely going to try it. Will be making again. I would forgo starbucks for a week to have a big bite of that fresh out of the oven. Different brands of salted butter have different amounts of salt. Salt as well?! It might need to bake a few more minutes to make sure the center gets baked thoroughly. I’ve heard so many different names for this dessert, but that’s a new one. I just want one thing in return. I have every ingredient listed, including REAL butter. It made Father’s Day lunch complete! I sub the baking powder with 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Though the sauce had a nice creamy texture, it was very watery tasting. Ashley, let me know what you think if you make this. Baking soda gets the job done with less and thus does not affect the taste of the finished product. That sounds really good! OK so I made the cobbler earlier today for supper tonight and it taste good but for some reason mine didn’t make quite as much pudding as others have described. And you’re right – ice cream is not optional when it comes to this kind of chocolate cake. Your email address will not be published. If you’re serving the entire thing, a few minutes in the oven will heat it up. I am making this when I get home. I made this two nights ago for some friends…they LOVED it. Your recipe is confusing? I made this yesterday and found it to be very delicious! recipe. I made this tonight and I have to say looks can be deceiving. The boiling water just stayed on top. Katie, chocolate helped bring me and Quinn together, too. I don’t have that… I only have salted butter…. This recipe was in my 1950’s Betty Cookbook for Children. I’m not sure why this happened to me and nobody else but my cake overflowed and burnt all over the bottom of my oven. Just made this. Jill B, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Sprinkle it on top of the batter in the pan. Having it for lunch today, can’t wait. Prepare an 8x8 baking pan by giving it a good spray with some oil, or you can wipe the inside of the pan down with some oil and paper towel. This looks and sounds like a phenomenal dessert – easy AND delicious!
