This will not end well

Have you all heard of these cake-in-a-mug recipes?  Basically, they are short, little recipes that you mix and microwave right in a coffee mug.  There are many varieties.  The one in my microwave right now uses hot cocoa mix as the base.  Hello?  Does anyone else sense the danger?  Does anyone else see the potential for abuse here?  In 4 minutes from start to stomach I can have a serving (ok, 2 servings) of hot chocolate cake.  No evidence--as long as I crack a window to vent the aroma before the kids get home.  

The concept appeals to my inner "Easy Bake Oven" genes.  It is not quite as simple as the stir-and-eat ease of "Baby Alive" baby food, but OMG, this cake is super yummy.
