Red Velvet Cobbler Recipe (2024)

Rich, gooey and sweet, this Red Velvet Cobbler Recipe is a fun version of an old-time Southern dessert.

I think one of the things I love the most about being a food blogger is how it has taken me out of my comfort zone in the kitchen. I used to be a die-hard stick to the recipe kind of person. I wasn’t comfortable with substitutions, and even if I wanted to change something, I didn’t know how. Even reading back through some of my first blog posts, I see a lot of that.

But after 7+ years of trying new recipes and developing new recipes and failing at recipes and hitting some recipes out of the park, I feel like I’m a lot more comfortable with changing things up.

Don’t get me wrong – there are still plenty of times when I feel like I have no creativity running through me and all I need is a recipe to follow to the t. But a lot of the time now, I feel like I can change things up to my tastes or what I have on hand.

When I started Red Velvet week several years ago, I had no idea that it would lead me to where I am today. Dozens and dozens of red velvet recipes. Who would have ever thought? And I’m always seeing ideas that others have made, and I have ideas pop into my mind all of the time. The possibilities really are endless.

And I love that blogging has brought me to this point.

Today, I am red velvet-izing another recipe. Have you ever had a chocolate cobbler? It’s not really a traditional cobbler – there is no fruit filling, no biscuit top. Instead, this old-fashioned Southern dessert has an ooey, gooey chocolate “filling” that bakes up with a chocolate cake on top. Today’s version is a Red Velvet Cobbler Recipe, and it’s totally out of this world. It may not look like much, and it’s so simple it’s crazy, but I can almost guarantee that you’ll find yourself going back for seconds.

If you’ve never made a recipe like this, the directions might sound a little strange. You put some melted butter in a pan, then top it with your red velvet batter. You top the batter off with a sugar and cocoa mixture. And then it gets strange – you pour boiling water over the whole thing. Don’t question it – just do it. Trust me.

Let the cobbler sit for a few minutes once it comes out of the oven to let the “sauce” thicken a bit. Then serve it up with vanilla ice cream. I wouldn’t skip the ice cream. Trust me on that one, too. The cobbler itself is pretty sweet, so the ice cream helps to cut that sweetness a bit.

If you are looking for comfort, this Red Velvet Cobbler Recipe definitely fits the bill. Unassuming and delicious. It’s a perfect dessert for family night or for a potluck. I know my family loved it!
