  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 32 grams, divided
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder 8 grams

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter an 8x8-inch baking pan and set aside.

  • Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.
Storage: Store chocolate cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
