Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cup sugar divided
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Pour the melted butter into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, 3/4 cup of the sugar,1 1/2 teaspoons of the cocoa, baking soda and salt. Stir in the buttermilk, red food coloring and vanilla extract. Spoon the batter over the butter, and carefully spread into one layer.
  • In another bowl, stir together the remaining 1 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons cocoa powder. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the top of the batter. Carefully pour the boiling water over the top of the sugar.
  • Bake in the oven for 35 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let the cobbler sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. (The "sauce" will thicken as it sits.)
