   Step 4: Spoon some of the batter from step 3 into the prepared mold, filling each cavity about 90% full. Bake for about 15 minutes PER MOLD BATCH at 375°F (190°C), until golden, firm and a center toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool briefly in the mold, then gently release them onto a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter, regreasing and warming the mold as needed. The number of cakes and batches depends on the mold size.
