Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for topping)
- 1.5 cups boiling water
- optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the top. Do not stir—it may look strange, but this creates the self-saucing effect of the cobbler.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top appears set but the cobbler is still gooey underneath.
Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
