Equipment

  • 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for the batter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for the topping
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Make the Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Add the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
  • Add the Water: Pour the boiling water over the entire dish. Do not stir. The water will create a sauce as the cobbler bakes.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cobbler will be soft and gooey on the bottom.
  • Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
