bake at 350u00b0 F (or 320u00b0 F fan assisted) for about 15-20 minutes. The surface of the cakes will spring and crack. Don't mind if you can see the filling, and don't mind if it looks liquid. It will solidify after cooling.

You can eat them hot, like my husband did, they will be a bit like molten lava cakes or some kind of pudding. Or you can let them cool and top with you favourite frosting.
