This is brilliant: coffee cake in a coffee cup!

I had no idea you could cook a cake with a microwave.

It reminds me of haikujaguar's link to single-serving pie in a jar... But it is even more insidiously convenient since you can make one serving at a time! That said, I'd probably use a ramekin and bake them for that yummy browning effect.

I used to rely on a toaster oven all the time, but my current oven is really nice with a digital display and all, I don't feel bad about using it to heat up a single serving of something. I don't think there's any real saving of electricity over a toaster oven, and being able to know the oven is at the temperature I want is nice!

That's another reason I'd be concerned over microwaving baked goods; microwaves aren't known for cooking things completely!
