For a perfectly gooey center, don't overbake! Keep an eye on the cakes after the 12-minute mark. If you're in a pinch, you can use store-bought chocolate ganache instead of melting chocolate and butter. These cakes are best enjoyed right after baking, but you can prepare the batter a few hours in advance and bake them just before serving.
