Orange Chocolate Cobbler

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

   Tip: Use an oven thermometer to ensure accuracy.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder.

   Tip: Make sure to remove any lumps from the flour.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, eggs, yogurt, and orange extract.

   Tip: Use a hand mixer or whisk to ensure the mixture is smooth.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix the batter.

5. 5

   Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.

   Tip: Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and ensure the chocolate is fully melted.

6. 6

   Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle with salt.

   Tip: Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly.

7. 7

   Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Avoid overbaking, as this can cause the cobbler to dry out.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

   Tip: Use a wire rack to cool the cobbler and prevent it from becoming soggy.

9. 9

   Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

   Tip: This is optional but adds a nice contrast to the warm cobbler.
