📝 Preparation Steps
1
Stir together the oil and sugar in a 12- to 14-ounce ceramic, microwave-safe mug, using a fork. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla, and then the sour cream. Stir in the baking powder and salt, and then the flour and cocoa powder.

Stir in the chocolate chips and microwave on high for 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes, depending on your microwave (in my microwave, 1½ minutes is just about golden). The cake is done when it rises above the edge of the mug (or close to it) and its top looks glossy and set, but not wet.

Let cool briefly—it will collapse—sorry, but true. The center will be more molten-like than cake-like, very soft, and very hot—be careful! Enjoy ASAP with vanilla ice cream.
