Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder until combined. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, stirring until the batter is smooth. Pour this batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Topping: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
- Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour the boiling water evenly over the topping mixture without stirring to allow the cobbler to form its characteristic sauce.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and a thick, fudgy sauce has formed underneath.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls and optionally top with ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Ensure not to stir after adding the boiling water to allow the sauce to form beneath the batter.
- For best results, use fresh baking powder for proper rising.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to complement the chocolate flavors.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
