Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
Flour and Leavening Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 grams) salt
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1/3 cup (75 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) hot water
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to eliminate any potential lumps.
- Introduce milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth, consistent batter forms without overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into a prepared greased baking dish, using a spatula to distribute evenly across the entire surface.
- In a separate bowl, create a topping blend by combining cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, ensuring ingredients are well integrated.
- Gently disperse the sugar-cocoa mixture across the surface of the batter, allowing an even, uniform coating.
- Slowly and carefully pour hot water over the entire dish, avoiding any stirring which could disrupt the layering process.
- Position the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F, baking for approximately 40-45 minutes until the top appears set while maintaining a decadent, gooey underneath texture.
- Remove from oven and let rest briefly before serving warm, accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Adjust cocoa intensity by selecting high-quality dark or milk cocoa powder for deeper or milder chocolate flavor profiles.
- Experiment with alternative milk options like almond or oat milk for dairy-free variations that maintain rich texture.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and smoother removal of the cobbler from baking dish.
- Consider sprinkling chopped nuts or sea salt on top before baking to enhance complexity and add unexpected crunch.
