Important Notes

To start with, always use good quality dark cocoa powder for the best chocolate cobbler.
On the positive side, the leftover chocolate cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, all you need to do is wrap the chocolate cobbler with aluminum foil.
In addition to the previous note, for longer storage, wrap the chocolate cobbler tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Then freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw the cobbler before eating it in the oven on low heat.
To emphasize, this chocolate cobbler is best served warm. For a richer taste, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Also, if you want a gluten-free chocolate cobbler, please substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour or any other gluten-free flour.
To explain, to avoid lumpy batter, sieve the all-purpose flour with the dry ingredients before combining them with the wet ingredients.
With this in mind, use full-fat dairy in this recipe. Whole milk and real butter make the cobbler super moist and rich in flavor. In addition, butter substitutes can be too oily and don’t taste decadent.
In case your baking dish or pan is shallow, please bake the cobbler on a baking sheet to catch any fudgy filling that oozes over.
Lastly, one of the keys to this cobbler is hot water, always bring the water to a boil before using it.
