  • Bake for 14 minutes. You may need to add an extra few minutes of baking time depending on your elevation. The cake should be cake spongy on the top but the middle of the cake should be melty and gooey-the consistency of pudding, not too runny. Do not let it overcook. Watch these babies closely!

Notes

  • Do not overbake! It is supposed to be spongy and cake-y on top but gooey and melty in the middle.
  • After 14 minutes, be sure to keep checking it. You don't want it to be cake-y all the way through, nor do you want it to be too runny.
  • Use your good judgement for doneness because oven temps and elevations are different for everyone. If you are worried about it, keep doing the "toothpick test" every minute or so.
  • If you put the toothpick all the way down to the bottom and the bottom half of the toothpick DOESN'T come out clean, you did it right.
