To celebrate My 100th post...

Okay...so to celebrate my 100th post I made this awesome, and I mean completely awesome dessert. (Okay, I really did not make it to celebrate the post, it just happened to be made the same evening.)


It is a chocolate cobbler. I got it from my younger sister, the doctor, who got it from the wife of one of her patients. Please pardon the pictures, they are not the greatest. I took them courtesy of my new crackberry, I am still learning the finer points of being technologically savvy.


Here are the cast of characters:



1 1/4 cups sugar divided

1 cup all purpose flour

7 tbs cocoa divided

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

1/3 cup melted butter

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 1/2 cups hot water

Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped Cream (believe me, you are going to need it.)

• Preheat over to 350 degrees


• In a bowl, stir together 3/4 cups sugar, flour, 3 tbs coca, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Pour batter into an ungreased, 8 inch square glass baking pan.


• In a separate bowl, stir together remaining 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, and remaining 4 tbs cocoa. Sprinkle mixture evenly over batter. Pour hot water over top - DO NOT STIR.


• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until center of cobbler is almost set. Let stand for 15 minutes.

Here is what it looks like out of the oven...

I told you my pictures weren't great. But man oh man...

• Spoon into individual dessert dishes


• The cobbler makes it own chocolate sauce in the bottom of the pan (see)...

Trust me, it was oozing chocolate sauce

• Now grab a spoon and top that bad boy with some vanilla ice cream. (I would suggest using an ice cream scoop but because LA Lady broke mine the last time she was at my house, I had to settle for a spoon.)

Here is what it looks like just before it hit Military Man's mouth...

Folks, if you love chocolate, it doesn't get much better than this!
