    List of Ingredients




    1/4 C. cocoa
    2/3 C. water, divided
    1 egg
    1/3 C. veg oil
    2 tsp. vanilla extract
    3/4 C. plus 2 T. flour
    1 C. sugar
    1/2 tsp. baking soda
    1/4 tsp. baking powder
    1/4 tsp. salt

    Frosting:

    3 T. butter, softened
    1 1/3 C. powdered sugar
    1/4 C. cocoa
    1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
    3-4 T. milk

    Recipe



    Line the bottom of a greased 8 inch round microwave-safe dish with waxed paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cocoa and 1/3 C. water. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 30-60 seconds or until thickened, stirring once. Add egg, oil, vanilla and remaining water.

    In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add egg mixture and mix well. Pour into prepared dish. Cook, uncovered, on high for 3 minutes.

    Rotate half a turn. Cook 3-4 minutes longer or until a moist area about 1 1/2 inch in diameter remains in the center (when touched cake will cling to finger while area underneath will be almost dry).

    Cool on a wire rack for 10-12 minutes. Invert unto serving plate; discard waxed paper. Cool completely.

    For frosting, in a mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, cocoa, vanilla and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cake. Top with raspberries and dust with sugar.


    Serves 6-8
