## How to Make Chocolate Cobbler Delight
## Ingredients
– For the Batter:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– For the Topping:
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
– 1/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1 1/2 cups boiling water
## Directions
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C)
2. Prepare the batter. In a medium bowl, blend together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Pour this batter into an ungreased 9×9-inch baking dish.
3. For the topping, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder in a different bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
4. Next, gently pour the boiling water over the sugar blend. Do not stir.
5. Finally, place the dish in the oven and bake for roughly 35-40 minutes. Ensure the top appears set and the cobbler is slightly jiggly underneath.
