This dessert has a unique, magical texture, combining a crispy top layer with a soft, fluffy lemon-flavored center.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of sugar (200 g)
• 1 cup of flour (120 g)
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 1 cup of milk (240 ml)
• 1/2 cup of butter (115 g), melted
• 1/4 cup of lemon juice (60 ml)
• Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for extra lemon flavor)
• 1 cup of sugar (for the lemon filling)
• 1 1/2 cups of hot water (360 ml)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
3. Add the liquids: Pour in the milk and melted butter into the dry mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
4. Pour into the baking dish: Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
5. Prepare the lemon filling: In another bowl, mix the lemon juice and 1 cup of sugar. If you want an extra burst of lemon flavor, add the lemon zest. Pour this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
6. Add the hot water: Carefully pour the hot water over the top of the entire mixture. Do not stir—the water will work its magic while baking.
7. Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is bubbly and fluffy.
8. Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Additional Tips:

• If you prefer a milder lemon flavor, you can reduce the amount of lemon juice.
• The magic of this cobbler is in the way the ingredients transform while baking, creating a crispy crust and a soft, creamy interior.

Final Thoughts:

This Magic Lemon Cobbler is a fantastic option if you’re looking for an easy yet impressive dessert to serve your family or guests. The combination of the tangy lemon with the sweet cobbler makes this a truly special treat.
