My quick and easy chocolate cobbler recipe is the perfect mouthwatering combination of moist chocolate cake with a hot chocolate fudge sauce layer.

Chocolate Cobbler

flour

sugar

tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

milk

tsp vanilla extract

vegetable oil

brown sugar

cocoa

water

pecans (optional)

Mix together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, and cocoa. Then add the wet ingredients: milk, vanilla, oil, and nuts (if using). Mix well and then pour into a greased 8x8 baking dish.

Mix together the brown sugar and remaining cocoa powder together. Sprinkle this topping over the batter. Then pour hot tap water, very slowly, over the dry mixture and batter.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes.

I'm going to start by apologizing to southernplay.com. this is going to be a long one as I just love sharing recipes and this chocolate cobbler reminded me of these family favorites that I just had to share. Once again I apologize for the way that I am rambling on in this post.

There are similar cobbler recipes in my recipe box that my husband LOVES. One is my chocolate cherry cobbler. Enough cans of cherries to fill a 9x13 dish, I use 4. Pour into dish. Coat cherries with white sugar, then take two boxes of chocolate fudge cake mix and do the same as the sugar. Melt two sticks of butter and pour over cake mix. Bring the nuts, top this dish with walnuts. Bake 350 til rich and bubbly. 50-60 min, start checking after 45. Now I know I'm rambling but I have to let you know this. There are three cobblers that I make this way. With the cake mix and the fruit. There's the chocolate cherry cobbler, there's the peach cobbler made with yellow cake mix and can peaches, and then there is the spiced pear cobbler, which I make around Christmas time. This one is made with canned pears  and brown sugar and cinnamon on top of the pears. Once again my husband loves this one he said that it makes him feel like it's in the season of Christmas and you know that season Thanksgiving and Christmas, where the pumpkin lattes are in full bloom? Oh! Don't forget to cut up your peaches and pears after they're in the Pyrex dish. This is a must, they are too big of pieces and once it's cooked it's hard to get those cut. I typically use four to six small cans or even just three large cans of the fruit, but I have very deep 9x13 Pyrex dishes and sometimes I'll need to get three big cans and two small cans cuz, depending on how much  fruit I want in my cobbler.  If you like more cobbler then fruit then use   three big cans and two boxes of the cake mix. 

I made all three of these multiple times over to pass out to our fire departments, after our big fires here in San Diego as a way of saying thank you for saving our town.  They're always a fan favorite and I'm always appreciative my hometown doesn't burn down.

Okay, I'm babbling like a brook so I'm signing off! Please enjoy these three cobbler recipes they're all made the same way just with the different cake mixes and/or nuts. Long time favorites in our family!
