Chocolate Cobbler

Missy Tippens

I went hunting for this recipe the other day and couldn't find it. I can't believe I haven't posted it here before! This post is overdue.

First, I need to thank Shirley Tidwell who made this dessert for our Bible study luncheons at our previous church. She graciously sent me the recipe. I just love how she wrote it (including all the places to DO NOT STIR!), so I'm going to copy and paste. :)

Chocolate Cobbler (From Shirley Tidwell)

8” dish

1 stick butter, melted

¾ cup sugar

1 ½ Tbsp. Cocoa

1 cup self rising flour

½ cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix sugar, cocoa, flour, milk and vanilla. Pour over melted margarine.  

DO NOT STIR!!!

1 cup sugar

¼ cup cocoa

Mix and sprinkle dry over batter.  DO NOT STIR!!!

Pour 1 ½ cups boiling water over all.  DO NOT STIR!!!

Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

See how simple! I actually doubled the recipe when I made it last. So the pan pictured here is a regular sized cake pan. I'll quickly show all the steps...

A quick note here. When I was searching for Shirley's recipe, I ran into a similar one that mentioned adding chocolate chips. So if you'd like to do that, I would sprinkle them here on top of the batter. Then sprinkle on the dry topping.

Here it is with the boiling water added...

I took the dish to some friends' house that night, and as we rushed out the door with the cobbler straight out of the oven, I forgot to take a photo. Here's a closeup of a bit that was leftover. :)

It's almost like a lava cake. It has a pudding-like layer. Very chocolatey and yummy!
