My Granny's Chocolate Cobbler

From The Pioneer Woman


1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
7 Tbs cocoa powder, divided
1 1/4 cup sugar, divided
1/2 c milk
1/3 c melted butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 c hot tap water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, 3 Tbs cocoa, and 3/4 c of the white sugar.  Reserve the remaining cocoa and sugar.

Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla to the flour mixture.  Mix until smooth.

Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8 inch baking dish.

In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining white sugar (it should be 1/2 cup), the brown sugar, and remaining 4 Tbs cocoa.  Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.

Pour the hot tap water over all.  DO NOT STIR!

Bake for about 40 minutes or until the center is set.

Let stand for a few minutes.  Serve with homemade ice cream using the sauce to spoon over all.
