Then add the chocolate chips and mix again.
Once everything is mixed and the batter smooth, pour the batter into the molds.
Bake for 30 minutes at 180C° (356 °F) using fan/convection mode.
You can eat the cake the day you make it, but at home, we find it better once we let it rest a whole day at room temperature. To keep it in the best condition, keep it covered with a clean kitchen towel. That will keep the cake from drying too fast or excess moisture from condensation.
