Chocolate Cobbler (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup flour.
02 - 2 tsp baking powder.
03 - 1/2 tsp salt.
04 - 2/3 cup sugar.
05 - 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa.
06 - 2 tbsp butter, melted.
07 - 1/2 cup milk.
08 - 1 tsp vanilla.
09 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
10 - 1/4 cup sugar.
11 - 1/2 cup brown sugar.
12 - 1/4 tsp salt.
13 - 1 tbsp cocoa.
14 - 1 cup water, boiling.

Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cocoa. Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
02 - Spread the batter into a greased 1.5 qt casserole dish (or square pan). Set aside.
03 - In another bowl, combine the dry topping ingredients (sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cocoa). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the pan. Do not stir.
04 - Carefully pour the boiling water over the top. Again, do not stir.
05 - Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is almost set. The cake will rise to the top, and a rich pudding will form underneath.
06 - Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Notes:

01 - This chocolate cobbler forms a cake on top and a pudding-like sauce on the bottom.
02 - Serve immediately for the best texture, as the sauce thickens as it cools.
