FAQ:

What’s the key to the soft center?
The key to keeping the center soft is to bake the cakes just until the edges are firm, but the center remains molten. A few seconds longer in the oven and the cake will set fully.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and refrigerate it. When you’re ready to bake, just bring the batter to room temperature and follow the baking instructions.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
While milk chocolate can be used, it will result in a sweeter and less rich cake. Dark chocolate gives the cake a more intense, bittersweet flavor that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the center.
