Chocolate Cobbler

I have never been a huge fan of cobblers because they usually involve some sort of fruit and I don't like cooked fruit.  Peach cobbler is ok, but still not my first choice of desserts.  But then Pinterest threw this recipe out to the universe and all the sudden I am into cobbler.  We're talking rich, gooey, chocolatey, melt-in-your-mouth cobbler. Add some vanilla ice cream and life has never been so good.
The recipe originally came from Sooz Hawkins on Tasty Kitchen.
1 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3 Tbs. cocoa
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup melted butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

*Mix the first five ingredients until combined.  Add milk, butter and vanilla.  Mix until smooth.  Pour into an ungreased 8x8 baking dish.  In a separate bowl, mix together:

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 brown sugar
4 Tbs. cocoa

*Sprinkle this mixture evenly over batter.  Then pour 1 1/2 cups HOT tap water over the top and DO NOT stir.  Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.  Serve warm over ice cream.

  3. I have this same recipe from a VERY OLD Betty Crocker (how ironic) cook book that was my mom's. It's called "Hot Fudge Pudding". It was my dad's favorite! I sort of forgot about it--thanks Rach!!

  8. I've made this several times for my Mom. It's delicious and she requests it pretty often! I'm about to make it again tonight for myself, although I might share with the husband and kids if I'm feeling generous. ;)
