Dangerous Chocolate Cake

My sister Edie, sent this to me in an email and it sounded like something that would be fun to try. I was a little skeptical about how it would cook in a mug, but it did. We loved watching it rise in the microwave and hoped it wouldn't spill over. It kept getting taller and taller and when we thought I was going to tumble, it didn't. That was the fun part and it was a lot of fun trying this recipe. It makes a lot of cake in the mug so you might want to share.

3 Tbsp. chocolate chips, optional---change of the flavor of the chips for something different.

(This can serve two if you want to feel slightly more virtuous.)
