The batter will be thin, but don't worry, this is normal and will result in a moist cake.br Filling the pans and baking:br br Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini cake pans or muffin tin, filling each about 23 full.br Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.br Remember that baking times may vary, so keep an eye on the cakes to prevent overcooking.br Cooling and decorating:br br Once the cakes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pans for a few minutes.br Carefully transfer the cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely.br Once cooled, you can decorate your mini cakes with frosting, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of melted chocolate. Get creative and add sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit to make them even more enticing.br Conclusion:br Congratulations!
