- small bowl
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
- vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until fully combined and free of lumps.
- Pour the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until a thick, smooth batter forms, making sure no dry pockets remain.
- Spread the batter evenly into the bottom of a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker that has been lightly greased with cooking spray or butter.
- In a separate small bowl, thoroughly mix the packed brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the slow cooker.
- Carefully pour the 1 1/2 cups of hot water over the entire surface of the brown sugar and cocoa layer. Do not stir the mixture.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on the HIGH setting for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the top looks set and a dark, fudgy sauce has formed beneath the cake layer.
- Turn off the slow cooker and let the cobbler rest, uncovered, for 30 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly before serving warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Do not stir after adding hot water. Let rest to thicken the sauce.
