It's getting close

This is the recipe I found online and tweeked a bit. I just mixed it all in the bowl and microwaved it for 4 minutes, it did stick to the bowl a bit but it was soft, moist, spongy, and pretty good. I think it was the best one so far. Now to just get it to a coffee mug size for easy indulgence without the over eating....

INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt

DIRECTIONS
Spray a medium microwave-safe bowl with non-stick spray and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and milk; blend together. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; blend into the mixture until smooth. Pour into greased bowl.
Cover and cook in the microwave on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched. Since all microwaves cook differently, adjust the cooking time to accommodate your machine. To serve, let the cake cool five minutes, then cover the bowl with a plate and turn both bowl and plate upside down so the cake falls onto the plate.

Nope. I won't even try it until you say it's perfect. That's just the way I roll.

It's still not great either. If you let it sit it gets all hard like a rock.

I will figure this out!
