Easy Chocolate Cobbler

Instructions

• Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan. Pour butter into the bottom of the baking pan. Mix in a medium bowl flour, baking powder, salt, 3/4 cup of sugar, and 3 tablespoons cocoa. Add milk and vanilla. Stir to combine and spoon into the baking pan on top of the butter. Do not mix in.
• Combine 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup cocoa. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the pan. Don’t mix in.
• Slowly pour boiling water over it. Do not mix in.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set.

Notes

• I use my 1 1/2 quart Corning-ware oval baking dish and it works perfect for this recipe.
• Use good quality cocoa.  I personally prefer gourmet Dutch processed baking cocoa which I purchase from Costco.
• The added water should be brought just right up to a boil.
• Do not over-bake this cobbler.  Since this dessert is a gooey chocolate mess it will only be semi set in the middle.
• This dessert is best served warm or at least at room temperature.
