Ingredients
Scale
For the batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the topping:
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
For the boiling water:
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish. - Prepare the Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish. - Add the Topping:
Combine the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a separate bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter. - Pour the Hot Water:
Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish without stirring. This step is key for creating the gooey layer. - Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set and begins to pull away from the edges of the dish. - Serve and Enjoy:
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Do not stir after pouring the hot water—it’s the secret to that luscious molten chocolate base!
- For extra indulgence, toss in some chocolate chips or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- This recipe is perfect for six servings but doubles beautifully if needed.
