# Ingredients:

→ For the batter

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
05 - 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
06 - 1/2 cup milk
07 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ For the topping

09 - 1/4 cup cocoa powder
10 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
11 - 1/2 cup brown sugar

→ For the boiling water

12 - 1 1/2 cups hot water

# Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish.
03 - Combine the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a separate bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
04 - Carefully pour the hot water over the entire dish without stirring. This step is key for creating the gooey layer.
05 - Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set and begins to pull away from the edges of the dish.
06 - Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

# Notes:

01 - Do not stir after pouring the hot water—it’s the secret to that luscious molten chocolate base!
02 - For extra indulgence, toss in some chocolate chips or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
03 - This recipe is perfect for six servings but doubles beautifully if needed.
