Southern Chocolate Cobbler Recipe for 8 Servings

Instructions:

1. Prep the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Note: A fully preheated oven ensures the cake starts rising the moment it hits the rack.
2. Melt the butter. Place the 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a 9x9 inch baking dish and set it in the oven. Remove as soon as it is golden and fully melted. until bubbling and fragrant.
3. Mix dry batter. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp cocoa powder.
4. Add liquids. Stir in 3/4 cup whole milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. until just combined. Note: Overmixing will lead to a tough, rubbery cake layer.
5. Layer the batter. Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir the batter into the butter.
6. Prep the topping. In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup cocoa powder.
7. Sprinkle the sugars. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the dish. until the white and brown sugar covers the surface.
8. The water pour. Carefully pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over the entire surface. Do not stir. Note: The layers must remain separate to create the lava effect.
9. Bake to perfection. Bake for 35 minutes until the top is set and crispy, but the center still has a slight jiggle.
10. The critical rest. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. until the chocolate sauce thickens.
