Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat to low and keep warm. (10 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and 1/2 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. (2 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Pour the hot sugar syrup into a 2-quart casserole dish. (1 minute)

07

Step
5 mins

Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter into the hot syrup, spacing them evenly apart. (5 minutes)

08

Step
50 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the dumplings are puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. (50 minutes)

09

Step

Let cool slightly before serving. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the dumplings to bowls, then spoon the chocolate syrup over them. Serve warm.

For an even richer flavor, try using brewed coffee instead of water for the syrup.
A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream makes a delightful addition.
The baking time may vary depending on your oven. Check for doneness after 40 minutes.
Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder to the batter for extra depth of flavor.

    The dumplings were a little too soft for my liking. Next time, I'll try baking them for a few more minutes.
