Mommy'S Mango Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Mangos:
8 mangoes - peeled, seeded, and sliced
2 cups water
1/2 cup white sugar
Batter:
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Combine mangoes, water, and 1/2 cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; simmer until sugar is dissolved, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain syrup from mangoes, reserving syrup.
Beat 2 cups sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl until combined. Slowly mix flour mixture, alternating with milk, into creamed butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir vanilla extract into batter; pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Arrange mangoes on top of the batter and pour 2 cups reserved syrup over mangoes.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cobbler comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
