Everyone will want to eat dessert first with this Chocolate Cobbler – a simple dessert that's all about gooey chocolate goodness. The velvety inside and crispy top create a perfect combo for a satisfying, easy-to-make treat!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add 4 tablespoons unsalted butter to a 3-quart or 9x9 baking dish. Place it in the oven until the butter is melted. Once melted, remove from the oven and set aside.
While the butter melts, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup granulated sugar. Stir in ½ cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the batter to the baking dish with the melted butter.
Prepare the topping by whisking 1 cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder together. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter. Pour the 1 ¼ cup boiling water over the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until it is almost completely set and has just a slight jiggle to it. The top should have a nice crust on it, and there should be a few bubbly spots around the edge. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10-12 minutes before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
