Chocolate Cobbler

Chocolate cobbler is one of the easiest to make and most decadent chocolate desserts. It is a super moist chocolate cake like brownie floating on top of rich hot chocolate sauce. It is the perfect dessert with homemade vanilla ice cream. And did I mention it was low fat! It only has 2 tablespoons of oil in the whole dessert. I have had this dessert as a child at church functions, but had forgotten about it till recently. I just reminded of this recipe again by a friend. I soon remembered that wonderful treat from my childhood that I had had just a few times, but had never made. When I started researching recipes, I realized what a low fat wonderful dessert this is. Here is a simple recipe of how to make chocolate cobbler.

I have made this for my husband before. He had an aunt I had to get the recipe from. We also called it Chocolate Pudding Cake. He loves it, but it is too rich tasting for him to eat more than a little piece. Guess who gets to eat the rest? As if I needed it. But, it’s chocolate, so how can you say no?
this is one of those desserts that are SO worth treating yourself too! love the pic

Your photo looks so yummy! I’m baking the cake now . It says baking powder in the ingredients but baking soda in the instructions. I didnt know which one was right so I did a little of both .LOL We shall see how it turns out in 45 min.

That should be fine, I corrected the recipe though, it was just baking powder, thanks for catching it! You can also substitute self rising flour for the AP flour, baking power and salt.

Hi Angie, The cake turned out fine and was very good. I used whole wheat flour and coconut oil. I also used 1/2 sugar plus stevia (to cut more calories) in the cake part but next time I’ll just use sugar as directed. We topped it with fresh whipped cream ,sweetened with maple syrup. Fantastic with the w.cream! Thanks for the recipe. It’s so easy that I’m sure I will make it often.
