Interesting question for me is whether, other things equal, you turn into wind to emerge from the cloud or downwind.

If the ceiling is 2000 ft, you presumably turn downwind to give yourself the best choice of landing spots. If the ceiling is 200 ft, you presumably want to emerge from the cloud at minimum groundspeed. 1000 ft? Hmm...

(Smart-arse answer to the original: I apply full power on the other engine and trim for straight and approximately level flight )
