Ingredients
For the Batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup milk
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
For the Sauce:
1 ¾ cups boiling water
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and lump-free. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Add the Topping:
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
Create the Sauce:
Carefully pour the boiling water over the batter and topping. Do not stir; the water will seep through the layers during baking.
Bake the Cobbler:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The top should appear set and slightly cracked while the bottom remains gooey.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Substitutions: For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and substitute butter with vegan margarine.
Add-Ons: Enhance the flavor with chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut in the batter.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating Tips: Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 30-40 seconds or the whole dish in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes.
Consistency Tip: Don’t overbake, as it will dry out the cobbler and reduce the gooey texture.
