Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Melt the Butter:
Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it melt in the preheating oven. Once melted, remove the dish from the oven.
3. Prepare the Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cocoa powder.
Add the self-rising flour, milk, and vanilla extract to the sugar-cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth.
4. Assemble the Cobbler:
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter will float on top of the butter.
5. Add the Topping:
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
6. Add Boiling Water:
Carefully pour the boiling water over the topping mixture. Do not stir.
7. Bake:
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are bubbly.
Serve:
Let the cobbler cool for about 15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion :
This Southern Chocolate Cobbler offers a delightful contrast between a cakey topping and a rich, fudgy sauce beneath. It’s a simple yet indulgent dessert that’s sure to impress at any gathering.
