Divide the batter between two 10-ounce coffee mugs. Do not fill the cups more than half full or they may overflow. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
Microwave, one at a time, on high for 1 minute and 15 seconds. (Every microwave is different. If the cake hasn't set, microwave in 10-second intervals until cooked through.) Let the cakes stand for 2 minutes.
Top with powdered sugar, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and berries, or other desired topping. Enjoy!
Notes
Whole milk tastes best with this recipe but low-fat milk or milk alternatives should work fine.
Make ahead tip
This cake tastes best when served right after it's made, but it can be covered tightly and stored at room temperature for 1-2 days.
