  2. Add sour cream, a large egg yolk, chocolate chips, and a splash of water to the dry mixture. Stir vigorously until everything is smoothly combined, with no lumps.
  3. Place your mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, watching for it to rise and look slightly wobbly. Avoid overcooking.
  4. Carefully remove the mug from the microwave and allow the cake to cool for about 1 minute before serving.
