    Remember the "mug cake" craze? I guess it really hasn't gone anywhere...and for good reason. Everyone needs a little something sweet from time to time and a small, microwavable portion size is always a bonus!

    Chocolate Cobbler has always been a huge hit with family, friends and followers of Dance Around the Kitchen. One night, I was craving some Chocolate Cobbler, but didn't need a huge pan of it (just needed to satisfy that pregnancy craving, ha!!). Therefore, I did a little experimenting and decided sharing this small batch recipe was a must! I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!

    Ingredients Needed

    • All Purpose Flour
    • Baking Powder - Be sure it isn't expired 😉
    • Salt
    • Sugar
    • Cocoa Powder
    • Vegetable Oil
    • Milk - Any type of milk will work (dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc)
    • Brown Sugar - Light or Dark will work great
    • Boiling Water - Or, if you're a coffee lover, try hot coffee instead!!

    How do you make Chocolate Cobbler for Two?

    For real, it’s easy. There are just a couple important steps that you’ll want to pay close attention to.

    First, you’ll make a simple batter right in the dish you'll cook it in (I love having few dishes!).

    Next, you’ll mix a few dry ingredients and sprinkle it on top; do NOT stir.

    Lastly, you’ll pour boiling water over the top and put it right in the oven. It’s super important that you do NOT stir after pouring the water on top. I know, it seems odd, but it works!

    You can either microwave on HIGH for 2 ½ - 3 minutes OR bake for 15 minutes at 350F and enjoy warm!

    Equipment

    • Microwave

    Ingredients
      

    • ⅓ c flour
    • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ c sugar
    • 2 teaspoon cocoa powder
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 2 ½ tablespoon milk

    Topping

    • 2 tablespoon sugar
    • 3 tablespoon brown sugar
    • pinch salt
    • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
    • ⅓ c boiling water

    Instructions
     

    • In a microwave-safe dish (needs to hold at least 6 cups), combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cocoa, oil and milk; set aside.
    • In a small mixing bowl, combine all topping ingredients except the boiling water.
    • Sprinkle the topping mixture over the batter; do NOT stir.
    • Pour the boiling water on top; again, do NOT stir.
    • Microwave on high for 2 ½ - 3 minutes* (microwaves vary greatly) OR bake in a 350°F oven or toaster oven for 15 minutes.
    • Enjoy warm with ice cream, if desired.

    Notes

    *If you've made my Chocolate Cobbler, please know that this will be a slightly different texture due to the fact that it's cooked in the microwave.  Portions of the cake will rise to the top, but some fudge will set on top.  (I actually really liked the extra fudgy texture of the microwave version!!)
