I would just continue to bake until the top springs back when touched and a toothpick comes out clean. However, not knowing how much baking time would be left, keep a close eye on it.

there is no real calculus to determine that that I know of. 350 is the usual temperature for cake baking. figure the same amount of time that the recipe calls for and take a peek at the cake. If it is golden, fragrant, and beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan, begin testing by quickly inserting and removing a toothpick into the center. The toothpick should come out clean (some recipes state "with moist crumbs adhering", so if that's the case, follow that advice). If it still has wet batter sticking to it, bake another 5 or so minutes. Judge by scent as well: when it starts to smell delicious, it may be ready. At any rate, continue baking for small amounts of time and testing with a fresh toothpick until the toothpick comes out clean.

Agreed. As my culinary school tutor used to tell us, cook it until it's done!
