Ingredients

  • 1 cup self rising flour
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 34 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional)
  • 12 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12-34 cup brown sugar
  • 14 cup white sugar
  • 14 cup baking cocoa
  • 1 12 cups hot tap water
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a 8x8 baking dish and add the butter to the pan.
  • You do not have to cut it up.
  • Just add it directly to the dish.
  • Place the dish into your pre-heated 350 degree oven.
  • This will let the butter melt while we mix up the rest of the ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl add the flour, white sugar, cocoa powder and about 1 teaspoons of instant coffee granules (optional).
  • Stir the dry ingredients together.
  • Next add to the dry ingredients, add milk and vanilla extract.
  • Stir together really well.
  • Remove your butter pan from the oven and add the chocolate mixture right into that dish of melted butter.
  • The chocolate batter tends to be a bit thick and pretty difficult to spread out evenly, but spread it around as best as you can.
  • In a small bowl, add in the brown sugar, white sugar and the cocoa powder.
  • Mix well.
  • Sprinkle the topping evenly all over the top of your chocolate mixture.
  • Get very hot water.
  • I just poured tap water into my measuring cup and then microwaved it for a couple minutes.
  • You dont need boiling water, but you do need the water to be really hot.
  • Then, slowly, slowly, pour the hot water over the top of the cobbler.
  • Place the dish in the oven for about 30-35 minutes.
  • You want it to still be a bit jiggly when you pull it out of the oven.
  • Let cool and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
