# Directions:

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Place butter in a 23×33cm (9×13-inch) baking dish and set in oven until completely melted. Remove dish and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 300g granulated sugar, 60g cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until thoroughly mixed.

Spoon the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir the mixture.
04 -
In a separate bowl, blend the remaining 400g of granulated sugar with 60g cocoa powder until well integrated.

Sprinkle the sugar-cocoa topping mixture evenly across the batter surface, then carefully pour the boiling water over everything. Do not stir.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top layer has set while maintaining a loose, gooey bottom layer.

Allow cobbler to cool for 15 minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
# Notes:

The distinctive feature of this cobbler is its self-forming layers during baking. The top becomes cake-like while the bottom transforms into a rich chocolate sauce.
