I had a good recipe for chocolate cake somewhere, that involved pouring 
in half a pint of boiling water at the end (just before putting it in 
the oven). The mixture was *very* wet but came out really good the 2nd 
time. The 1st time I severely underestimated how much it would rise and 
after about 10 minutes it just started pouring chocolate mix all over 
the bottom of the oven :-)

Oat cookies are also really easy to make, melt butter and syrup in a 
pan, put flour, oats and sugar in another bowl, then mix all together 
and form into balls on a baking sheet. In under 30 mins you can have 
some nice gooey warm cookies. I put in a few spoons of ginger powder too.
