In the beginning...

So it's 2:00 in the morning and about an hour ago I stumbled onto what appeared to be a gift from the heavens. A simple, easy, and very quick recipe for Chocolate Cobbler. On any other day, it wouldve just been a great find, but today I had just come home from Chili's with the realization that in the midst of my deep conversation with my boyfriend I had forgotten about dessert entirely. God forbid. The insanely delicious chocolate molten cake had been left out of the dining experience and there was nothing I could do about it. 
Until I found the Chocolate Cobbler recipe...at 11:30 at night.
After going back and forth with my boyfriend over whether or not I should make it so late at night, I got to work. I just couldn't resist.

And now, here I am having just enjoyed the gooey, choclatey goodness that is this Chocolate Cobbler; so much so that it inspired in me the need to create a food blog.


 And so, the adventure begins...

Chocolate Cobbler

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoons salt
• 7  tablespoons cocoa powder, divided (I used Hershey's Special Dark)
• 1 ¼ cup sugar, divided
• ½ cup milk 
• ⅓ cup melted butter 
• 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1-½ cup hot tap water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

First stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, 3 tablespoons of the cocoa, and 3/4 cup of the white sugar. Reserve the remaining cocoa and sugar.

Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla to the flour mixture. Mix until smooth.

Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8-inch baking dish.

In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining white sugar (1/2 cup), the brown sugar, and remaining 4 tablespoons of cocoa. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.

Pour the hot tap water over all. Do not stir!

Bake for about 40 minutes or until the center is set.

Best served with a nice cold glass of milk.
