Do I need to change the temperature if I'm using a dark pan for chocolate cake at sea level?

I'm baking the Margaret Fox Chocolate cake which does not call for eggs or butter.

I would lessen the time rather than lower the temperature. Dark pans absorb heat Nd tend to bake faster. You'll just have to keep an eye on it.
