Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350℉ (175℃).

2. 2

   Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Set aside.

3. 3

   Place chocolate chunks or chips in a small bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals until melted.

4. 4

   Add cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until thoroughly combined.

5. 5

   Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the chocolate mixture and melted butter. Stir until a thick batter forms.

6. 6

   Pour into a small, ungreased, 8-inch rectangular casserole dish with high sides.

7. 7

   In another bowl, mix cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the chocolate batter. PLEASE DO NOT STIR OR MIX.

8. 8

   Gently pour hot water over the mixture. Again, please don't stir. Place a baking sheet in the oven, then put the chocolate cobbler on it in case the batter spills over while baking.

9. 9

   Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top part sets. Carefully remove it from the oven and cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
