Name: My Granny’S Chocolate Cobbler
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup All-purpose Flour; 2 teaspoons Baking Powder; 1/4 teaspoons Salt; 7 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder, Divided; 1-1/4 cup Sugar, Divided; 1/2 cups Milk; 1/3 cups Melted Butter; 1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract; 1/2 cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed; 1-1/2 cup Hot Tap Water

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
First stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, 3 tablespoons of the cocoa, and 3/4 cup of the white sugar. Reserve the remaining cocoa and sugar.
3
Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla to the flour mixture. Mix until smooth.
4
Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8-inch baking dish. I prefer my small oval Corning Ware glass dish.
5
In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining white sugar (it should be 1/2 cup), the brown sugar, and remaining 4 tablespoons of cocoa. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
6
Pour the hot tap water over all. DO NOT STIR!
7
Bake for about 40 minutes or until the center is set.
8
Let stand for a few minutes if you can hold yourself back. Serve with homemade ice cream using the gooey sauce to spoon over all.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
