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.
