Chocolate Raspberry Cake

With the abundance of blackberries here this year when I saw this recipe I had to give it a try. The crust creates a dumpling like topping which works out very well. You can really create the amount of servings you want by the number of dumplings. I used 1 dumpling per serving with the black berry filling. Black Berry Cobbler Recipe is simple to make with not a lot of prep time. This a very good recipe-if you have fresh blackberries on hand your family will love it.
Enjoy!
