Ingredients
Scale
For the Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ¼ cups hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
- Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish.
- Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ¼ cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
- Add hot water: Slowly pour the hot water over the topping, but do not stir. This will create the gooey chocolate sauce underneath.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Customize it: Add ½ cup of chopped nuts, peanut butter, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
