How To Make Chocolate Cobbler

Step : 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or spray a 2-quart baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step : 2

In a large bowl, mix together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. 

Step : 3

In a small bowl, combine buttermilk, water, and melted butter. 

Step : 4

Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until well combined. 

Step : 5

Spread this mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.

Step : 6

In a medium bowl, mix together both types of sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the base layer. 

Step : 7

Combine vanilla extract with boiling water. Carefully pour this over the top of the sugar and cocoa layer.

Step : 8

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cake should be mostly set but still a bit wobbly in the center. It should be gooey but not raw.

How to Store and Reheat Chocolate Cobbler

Refrigerating Leftovers:

1. Put any leftover chocolate cobbler in an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap.
2. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
3. To reheat a serving, microwave it for about 30 seconds until warm. You can also cover it with foil and heat it in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 10 minutes.

Freezing:

1. Let the cobbler cool completely before freezing.
2. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, then add a layer of aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. You can freeze the whole cobbler or cut it into individual portions.
3. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
4. When ready to eat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Reheating After Refrigerating or Freezing:

1. Remove any plastic wrap or lids and place the cobbler in an oven-safe dish if it’s not already in one.
2. Cover with foil and reheat in a 300-350°F (150-175°C) oven until it’s heated through, about 10-20 minutes.
3. You can also use the microwave to gently reheat individual servings until warm.
