These chocolate lava cakes are baked in a pre-heated oven at a higher temperature than what you would normally use for cakes. And that’s because you want a crust formed on the outside and have the center to still remain soft and gooey.

Refrigerate: You can make the batter and refrigerate it for a few hours. When you are ready to serve, just bake it in the oven for 15-18 minutes and you are ready to go.
