Old Fashioned Chocolate Cobbler

Take a walk down recipe lane with this Old Fashioned Chocolate Cobbler. This chocolate cobbler recipe replicates how cobblers used to be made—that is, without fruit. Before everyone put blueberries or peaches in their cobblers, they layered brown sugar and cocoa over a chocolate batter and then poured hot water over the top. This chocolate dessert recipe follows these exact steps in recreating this classic treat. The hot water is especially important because it produces a biscuit-like top that floats on a sea of gooey chocolate. If you're intimidated by the amount of chocolate in this recipe, scoop vanilla ice cream on it. This cobbler beats brownie sundaes any day.
