Ingredients:
- 🧈 1/2 cup butter
- 🍬 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 🍫 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 🥣 2 cups self-rising flour
- 🥛 1 cup milk
- 🌊 1 1/2 cups boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt in the oven.
- Make the Batter:
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup of sugar, flour, and milk until smooth. Pour the batter over the melted butter but do not stir.
- Create the Cocoa Layer:
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
- Add the Magic Touch:
- Carefully pour the boiling water over the top. Do not stir; it will bake into layers of gooey chocolate goodness.
- Bake:
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is set and the cobbler is bubbling around the edges.
- Serve:
- Let it cool slightly before serving. Scoop into bowls and pair with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat.
