Here’s a warm, gooey homemade chocolate cobbler—crispy on top, rich chocolate sauce underneath 🍫✨
It’s easy and perfect served with vanilla ice cream.
Homemade Chocolate Cobbler

Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Topping
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar

Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish. - Make the batter
In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. - Spread batter
Pour batter evenly into the prepared dish. - Add topping
In a separate bowl, mix sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder.
Sprinkle evenly over the batter. - Pour hot water
Carefully pour hot water over everything. Do not stir. - Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the top looks set and cracked, with sauce bubbling underneath. - Cool slightly & serve
Let rest 10 minutes. Spoon into bowls, making sure to get that rich chocolate sauce.
Serving Ideas
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
- Fresh berries
- A dusting of powdered sugar
Tips
- Use hot coffee instead of water for a richer chocolate flavor
- Don’t overbake—the center should be saucy, not dry
If you want, I can also share a small-batch version, gluten-free option, or extra-fudgy twist 😄
