Super easy to stir together and this makes a great rich decadent dessert with vanilla ice cream!

Equipment

  • Oven-safe 9 x 13 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Granulated sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder not Dutch process
  • 2 cups Self-rising flour
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
  • Topping
  • 2 cups Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 cups Boiling water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • Place the salted butter into a 9 × 13 oven-safe baking dish into the oven for the butter to melt. Make sure to watch it so it just melts.
  • When melted, remove the dish from the oven and set aside. Allow the butter to cool down while you mix the recipe; you don't want it to bubble.
  • Now in a mixing bowl, mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, milk, and vanilla extract for the batter. Slowly pour the mixture into the baking dish on top of the melted butter. DO NOT STIR. (You want to make sure it's layered.)
  • To mix the topping:
  • In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups sugar and ½ cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle this topping mixture on top of the batter, again DO NOT STIR. Pour the boiling water over the sugar mixture topping.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until top is set. The bottom of the cobbler will still be loose. Allow to cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While still a little warm, top with soft serve vanilla ice cream (optional) and eat and enjoy!
