Chocolate Turtle Cobbler
This fudgy cobbler has a chocolate cake studded with pecans and a chocolate caramel sauce underneath. Top with a scoop of ice cream for the ultimate decadent dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup jarred caramel sauce divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cocoa powder. Stir in the melted butter, milk and pecans.
- Spread the batter into a greased 1.5 qt casserole dish and set aside.
- In another bowl, stir together the sugar, brown sugar and cocoa and sprinkle over the batter.
- Stir 1/4 cup of the caramel sauce into the boiling water. Pour the mixture over the topping; do NOT stir.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the top of the cobbler is almost set (it will still be a little jiggly as the bottom will be runny). The cake will rise to the top and a fudgy pudding will form underneath.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel on top and sprinkle with additional pecans, if desired.
- Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping.
