Ingredients
Cake Batter
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish thoroughly and set it aside, ensuring the cobbler won’t stick after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and 3/4 cup of light brown sugar. Stir well using a fork or whisk to evenly blend the dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
- Pour Batter into Dish: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon using a fork until fully combined.
- Sprinkle Topping: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping mixture over the cake batter in the dish.
- Add Hot Water: Gently pour 1 cup of hot water evenly over the entire cake, ensuring to cover the surface without disturbing the topping too much.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The cobbler should be set and slightly golden around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes to set. Serve the snickerdoodle cobbler warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgence.
Notes
- Ensure the water is hot when pouring over the batter to create the signature cobbler texture.
- Grease the baking dish well to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- For best flavor, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- You can store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
