Ingredients

Scale

Coffee Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups brewed coffee

Chocolate Caramel Layer

  • 7 ounces Riesen chewy chocolate caramels

Cake Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (such as sunflower)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coffee Sauce: Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat your oven to 350°F. In a small pot over medium-low heat, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, brown sugar, and brewed coffee. Stir occasionally until the sugars dissolve and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Keep this warm while preparing the batter.
  2. Arrange Chocolate Caramels: Unwrap the Riesen chewy chocolate caramels and evenly distribute them across the bottom of an 8-inch by 8-inch square glass baking dish, creating a caramel base for the dessert.
  3. Prepare Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Using a mixer, beat the ingredients at medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Slowly and carefully pour the cake batter evenly over the caramels without stirring. Then, gently pour the warm coffee mixture over the batter, allowing it to seep through and around without mixing. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the cake is firm and has risen to the top of the sauce.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Do not stir the coffee mixture into the cake batter to allow the cake to rise above the sauce, creating distinct layers.
  • Use a glass baking dish for even heat distribution and to easily monitor the baking progress.
  • For a homemade coffee base, brew coffee with your preferred strength and flavor profile.
  • Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the layers to set and make serving easier.
  • Adding vanilla ice cream on top enhances the contrast between warm cobbler and cold creamy dessert.
