Notes
You can also add ½ of a beaten egg - which is about 1.5 tablespoons of beaten egg. If you add egg, reduce the amount of milk by 1.5 tablespoons. Using egg will make the cake spongier.The power of your microwave will dictate how long to cook the cake for. A stronger microwave (950 watts) will cook the cake faster in just over a minute. An older, or weaker microwave will take 1.5 minutes.If you overcook this cake (and you might on the first try) it will be dry and ruined. Take this cake WAY over the top by dusting it with powdered sugar and topping with jam or frozen fruit. Raspberries are my go-to.WANT TO REDUCE THE CALORIES?
Cut the sugar back to 3 tablespoons and omit the chocolate chips to save over 100 calories.
