Ingredients
Scale
For the Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Topping and Sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups hot water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan to create a rich buttery base for the cobbler.
- Make Batter: In a large bowl, combine the whole milk, vanilla extract, and 1 cup granulated sugar. Mix until smooth. Then add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Assemble Batter in Pan: Spoon the prepared batter evenly over the melted butter layer in your baking pan, distributing it to cover the bottom completely.
- Add Brown Sugar: Sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar evenly over the batter to add sweetness and depth to the sauce that will develop.
- Pour Hot Water: Carefully pour 2 cups of hot water over the batter and brown sugar layer without stirring. This will create a delicious cinnamon sugar sauce beneath the cake as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges, signaling the cobbler is cooked through.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. While the cobbler is still warm, sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top for added crunch and flavor.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. For extra indulgence, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Notes
- Do not stir after pouring hot water over the batter; this ensures the distinct layers form during baking.
- Use hot water to help dissolve the sugars quickly and create a rich sauce beneath.
- This cobbler is best served warm and pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- You can store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
