Casserole Chocolate Cake
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 2/3 cup water, divided
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1-1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 to 4 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup raspberries, optional
- Additional confectioners' sugar
- Line the bottom of a greased 8-in. round microwave-safe dish with waxed paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cocoa and 1/3 cup water. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 20-50 seconds or until thickened, stirring once. Add the egg, oil, vanilla and remaining water.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Stir in the egg mixture. Pour into prepared dish.
- Cook, uncovered, on high for 2-1/4 minutes. Cook 2-3 minutes longer or until a moist area about 1-1/2 in. 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 onto serving plate; discard waxed paper. Cool completely.
- For frosting, in a small bowl, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, vanilla and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cake. Top with raspberries and dust with confectioners' sugar.
