Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for batter)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
- 1.75 cups boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt the unsalted butter in the oven in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Remove from oven once melted and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder (for batter), baking powder, and salt.
Add the whole milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and mix until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
In a small bowl, combine the packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire dish, ensuring the topping is evenly moistened. Do not stir.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp but the center is still gooey.
Allow the cobbler to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Scoop into bowls to reveal the fudge sauce underneath, and serve warm. Optional: top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
