Ingredients:

FOR THE BATTER:

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

FOR THE TOPPING:

2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 cups boiling water

Vanilla ice cream, for serving

How To Make Southern Chocolate Cobbler:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put in oven. Once butter has melted, remove and set aside.

Stir together the 1 1/2 cups sugar, 4 tablespoons cocoa powder, flour, milk, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Spoon into baking dish over melted butter, but do not stir.

In a separate bowl, mix together the 2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle over batter in pan. Pour boiling water over topping, but again do not stir.

Bake until top has set, 35-40 minutes. The bottom will be loose and a bit gooey.

Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
