A cake that is really fast to make.. ? Recipes?

[Sachertorte]

I don´t keep biscuits or cakes in the house as a rule (too dangerous) but do like to offer visitors something. What can I make, really fast, within about 40 minutes say (also need time to cool down I suppose or else something that is best eaten warm)
Thanks!

muffins? blueberry? nigella's book, dom goddess i think.

The quickest and best chocolate cake in the world (IMO)

4 tbsp cocoa
3 eggs
1/3 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1 11/3 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder

Sift dry ingredients, add the rest and mix well. Pour into greased tins and bake at 180oC for +/- 20 minutes.

Allow to cool and ice!

YUMMY...
