For the cobbler:

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder

  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups hot water
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  • Place the butter in an 8x8 baking dish and put inoven while it preheats until butter has melted.
  • Mix together dry ingredients.
  • Whisk milk and vanilla into dry ingredients until well combined.
  • When butter has melted, carefully spoon the chocolate mixture over the melted butter evenly.

  • Slowly and carefully pour the hot water over the top, being sure to cover the topping with water.
