Chocolate Cobbler

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Make the Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
3. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Add the Topping

1. In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder.
2. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 4: Pour the Hot Water

1. Slowly pour the boiling water over the entire dish, ensuring the topping is evenly saturated.
2. Do not stir; the water will create the molten chocolate layer as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake

1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is set and crackly, and a thick chocolate sauce forms underneath.
2. Let the cobbler cool for about 5–10 minutes before serving.

Step 6: Serve

1. Spoon the cobbler into bowls, making sure to scoop up the gooey sauce from the bottom.
2. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
