Ingredients
For the Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter and milk, stirring until smooth and well combined to form the batter.
- Pour Batter into Baking Dish: Transfer the batter evenly into a greased baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula for uniform cooking.
- Add Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cocoa powder for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Then carefully pour the boiling water over the entire surface without stirring; this will create a luscious sauce beneath the cake as it bakes.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top layer is set but the cobbler remains gooey beneath.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Serve the warm chocolate cobbler on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
- Do not stir after pouring the boiling water on top; this helps create the signature sauce underneath.
- Serving warm enhances the gooey texture and flavor.
- For a richer dessert, top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream when serving.
- Ensure the baking dish is oven-safe and properly greased to prevent sticking.
