This chocolate cobbler is much like a molten lava cake. It's a decadent Southern dessert that is perfect for holidays and special occasions. It's even better when served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the butter in a 2 quart, 8x8 inch baking dish; place in the oven to melt, keeping an eye on the butter so that it doesn't burn. Remove from the oven when it has melted; set aside.
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, 3/4 c. sugar, and 2 T. cocoa powder in a medium bowl; whisk to combine. Add the milk and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
Combine the remaining 1 c. sugar and 1/4 c. cocoa powder in a small bowl; whisk to combine.
Pour the liquid batter over the butter in the baking dish. Sprinkle on the sugar and cocoa mixture. Slowly pour boiling water over the top as evenly as possible.
Bake for about 30 minutes, just until the top has set.
Cool 10 - 15 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
8 servings.
*Tip: If doubling the recipe, bake it in a 9×13 baking dish.
