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 the butter to a 3-quart or 9x9 baking dish and place in the oven until the butter is melted. Once melted, remove from the oven and set aside.
While the butter melts, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the milk and vanilla until fully combined.
Add the batter to the baking dish with the melted butter.
Prepare the topping by whisking the sugar, salt, and cocoa powder together. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter. Pour the boiling water over the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, 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!
