Quick Peach Cobbler
½ cup butter
1 cup self rising flour
2 cups sugar (divided)
1 cup milk
4 cups slices fresh peaches
Melt butter in 9 x 13 pan. Combine flour, 1 cup of sugar, and milk. Mix well. Pour into melted butter. DO NOT STIR. Combine peaches and remaining sugar in saucepan and bring to boil. Pour over batter in pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Unfortunately for me this is the gold standard of cobblers all others suffer by comparison. I am a total peach cobbler snob (seriously, don't roll your eyes until you eat this hot out of the oven -- the butter may kill you, but you'll die happy). The thought of that other version that is cooked fruit with lumpy biscuits on top is just...Ew.

Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Bundt Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
4 eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup chocolate syrup (Like Hershey's)
1 cup chocolate chips (we use milk chocolate)
Mix together cake mix, eggs, oil, sour cream, and vanilla. Separate 1/3 of batter into a separate bowl. with the 2/3 mixture, add 1 cup of chocolate syrup and the 1 cup of chocolate chips (I usually add a little more). In a greased and floured bundt pan, spoon in part of the chocolate batter. Then put all of the 1/3 plain batter over that. Finally, top with the rest of the chocolate batter.
Bake at 325-350 degrees for approximately 1 hour until toothpick comes out clean (just remember there are chocolate chips in there, so if you poke into a chocolate chip it will be on the toothpick). Do not let it get too dark on the top.
**So here's some "exceptions" if you will: Some ovens bake this better at 325, others 350, you just have to see what yours does and what you prefer.
Also, some cake mixes are dryer than others. HONESTLY, I cannot remember which one is better. Sometimes I will add a packet of vanilla instant pudding to the batter if I feel like it doesn't feel right (some cake mixes are better when you add that, others don't need it and your cake will fall apart).
Hope you enjoy this as much as we have! This is our favorite and all of our friends ask us to bring this when we get together. It's yummy!
Enjoy ~R.
