What temperature should I bake a cake at?

A simple homemade cake is generally baked at 180°C (350°F) in a preheated oven. However, the exact temperature may vary depending on the recipe and oven.

How long does it take to bake a cake?

Most simple cakes take around 30 to 40 minutes to bake at 180°C. Baking time can vary depending on the size and type of cake.

How do I know when my cake is fully baked?

Insert a toothpick or skewer into the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs, the cake is ready. If wet batter sticks to it, bake the cake for a few more minutes.

Why does my cake become dense instead of soft?

A cake can become dense because of overmixing the batter, incorrect measurements, or using too much flour. Mix the batter gently and follow the measurements carefully.

Do I need to preheat the oven before baking a cake?

Yes. Preheating the oven helps the cake start baking at the correct temperature and promotes even baking.
