Chocolate Cobbler

(aka: Molten Fudge Cake)

Make this tonight! It is soooo yummy! It’s a bit richer than I thought
it was going to be, but the vanilla ice cream balanced it out quite nicely.
I think this is one of my new favorite desserts!

• 1 cup Flour
• 2 tsp. Baking Powder
• 1/4 tsp. Salt
• 7 tbsp. Cocoa Baking Powder, divided
• 1-1/4 cup Sugar, divided
• 1/2 cup Milk
• 1/3 cup Melted Butter
• 2 tsp. Vanilla
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1-1/2 cups Hot Tap Water

Preheat oven to 350*.
Stir flour, baking powder, salt, 3 tbsp. of cocoa, and 3/4 cup of white sugar together in mixing bowl. Reserve the remaining cocoa and sugar.
Add the milk, melted butter and vanilla to the flour mixture. Mix until smooth.
Pour the mixture into an UNgreased 8x8 pan.
In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining white sugar (1/2 cup), the brown sugar, and the remaining 4 tbsp. of cocoa. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the batter.
Pour the hot water over the mixture in the pan. DO NOT STIR.
Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream. DELISH! {store any leftovers in the refrigerator!}

Funnel Cakes

 

• 2 eggs
• 1-1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2-1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• powdered sugar, oil for frying

In a large, deep pan, heat oil to about 350*.
Mix dry ingredients together, then whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and milk. Add a splash more milk, if needed. {the batter should be like thin pancake batter}. 
Pour about 1/2 cup of batter through a funnel (while make circular motions and web patterns) into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, flipping half way through, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and coat with powdered sugar.

 

I use one of these bottles, instead of a funnel. It’s easier and I create less of a mess. :)

I just cut the tip all the way down so that the hole was bigger. Works wonderfully.
