Here is one I haven't tried - it's along the lines of the "Instant 
Chocolate Cake" - with notes from the recipe originator. It takes longer 
to read than it would take to make the cake.

      Title: Faire du Gâteau Dans Une Grande Tasse (Cake in a Mug)
 Categories: Cakes, Chocolate, Snacks
      Yield: 1 serving

      4 tb Flour
      9 tb Hot chocolate mix
        pn Salt
      1 lg Egg
      3 tb Water
      3 tb Oil
           Cooking Spray 
 
  Equipment: A microwave oven, a large microwavable mug, a
  tablespoon for measuring.

  Spray a little cooking spray into the mug.

  Measure out the flour, hot chocolate mix and salt into the
  mug. Stir.

  Crack the egg into the mug. Stir a bit after adding the
  egg so the cup doesn't overflow.

  Add water and oil.

  Stir until thoroughly moistened. Make sure to scrape the
  bottom of the mug with your spoon to avoid any leftover
  pockets of dry ingredients. 

  Put the mug in the microwave on high and set the timer
  for 3 minutes. 

  As it bakes, a cylinder of cake will start to rise out of
  the mug. Way cool! 

  When done, it will settle back into the mug. 

  The handle of the mug may be hot, so use a potholder to
  remove it from the microwave.

  Tip your cake cylinder out of the mug into a dish. Your
  cake may look a little damp and wrinkled. This is normal.

  Use a fork to break it up into quarters. This will allow
  steam in the center to escape. Arrange so that the more
  attractive interior of the cake is showing.

  For added sweetness and gooeyness, after you mix up the
  batter throw in a few chocolate chips. They may sink to
  the bottom, but they will taste fine. Mini marshmallows
  also add a great taste to the cake. They do tend to bubble
  out, so be sure to protect your microwave tray with paper
  towel for easy clean-up.

  If you want a glaze-like layer on the outside of the cake,
  try using some chocolate or butterscotch syrup. This
  absorbs into the cake and makes it more sweet and
  delicious. 

  Didn't want to throw my nutrition degree out the window,
  so I made the cake with whole wheat flour, canola oil and
  sugar-free, calcium fortified hot chocolate. Plus I
  replaced half the oil with applesauce. Just as delicious! 

  Afterwards -- Clean Up

  Although the cooking spray will help, it may still require
  soaking.

  After use, fill the mug with water and let soak. Then wash
  by hand. Throwing the mug in the dishwasher will result in
  baked-on batter that will be harder to get off than if you
  just washed it by hand in the first place. 

  Gina Trapani's NOTES: I gave this a try myself this
  afternoon, and the result was - well, not the best cake
  I've ever had. Actually, it was kind of gross. The texture
  much less cake-y than one would expect and much more gummy
  than you'd ever want. I also made the mistake of using
  some fancy-pants hot chocolate mix from Jacques Torres
  back in Brooklyn that clearly wasn't meant to be
  microwaved with an egg. 

  That said, I'm going to give this a try once I get ahold
  of some plain old Swiss Miss and see what happens - the
  result was indeed instant, hot, chocolate cake, and even
  the worst chocolate cake is better than no chocolate cake.
