Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch baking dish; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed 2 minutes; add coffee; mix to combine- the batter will be runny. Pour in the prepared baking dish; smooth the top. Bake 35 - 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake rises too much in the center and cracks, when it has slightly cooled you can press it gently with the palms of your hands, just to smooth the top.
With a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the cake; set aside.
Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl; set aside. In a saucepan, bring sweetened condensed milk to a boil; pour it over chocolate chips; whisk until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cake and spread to fill in holes.
Set aside to cool for about an hour, then refrigerate until completely cooled.
Topping:
Mix heavy cream until soft peaks form, add powdered sugar, cocoa and vanilla extract and continue mixing until stiff peaks form. Spread onto cooled cake and sprinkle with mini-chocolate chips.
Store in the refrigerator.
