Just had a thought as I was prying 2 more mini cakes out of the pan. The directions said to "submerge" the chocolate discs in the batter. But the photos show them just placed in the center of each cup. (I baked first & looked at the recipe online after.) I pushed them down to "submerge" them. I wonder if they went so far down that the chocolate stuck to the bottom as the cakes baked. I think I need to take another crack at this recipe and let them cook another minute or two in the convection oven, but only set the chocolate discs on them. So, cook 10-12 min. (With my convection oven I find that when I "convert" the temp. for convection cooking I need a few extra minutes to complete the cooking, but if I don't "convert" the temp. things burn.) Just thinking out loud, so to speak, to bounce some ideas off you. Your thoughts, please.
Yes, I suggest you place the chocolate pieces on the tops of these divine little cakes next time. If you do not have an oven thermometer already, I highly recommend it. It will at least help you with the adjustment of the temperature. Then you will have to watch for the time! Hope you can try this recipe again soon! Elisabeth
