Heat brings about a chemical change. Physical changes can be undone, but you cannot unbake a cake.

A cake out of the oven before it is baked?

You shouldn't do that, because it is dangerous and unhealthy to eat a cake that is not fully baked through. You should put the cake back in the oven and finish cooking it.

Is using oven cleaner a physical or chemical change?

Traditional oven cleaner is lye, it chemically turns the baked on fat and oil to soap. This soap then helps clean off the other baked on stuff. I don't know (yet) how the new lye free oven cleaners work.


Which is heavier is it th cake or the ingredients of making a cake?

Without doing the actual laboratory testing, I will suggest that the batter weighs more than the baked cake. The logic is that the liquid batter undergoes chemical reactions releasing moisture and some gases while it bakes. The liquid batter becomes a solid (sort of) cake by loosing some of the liquid content in the heat of the oven. So, batter minus moisture equals cake; you remove less from the oven than you put in the oven. The difference is wafting in the air as aroma of fresh baked cake.


What do you do if a cake is cooking only at the top?

If a cake is cooking only on the top, it may be that the oven is set on "broil" instead of on "bake," or that the bottom element of the oven may be broken. Another possibility is that the cake simply has not baked long enough to be "done" throughout. If the oven is set at too high a temperature, the top of the cake might scorch before the interior is baked. The oven temperature should be tested with an oven thermometer to determine whether the temperature setting is accurate.


How can you tell that baking a cake produces a chemical change?

New chemical bonds are being formed, and some are being broken. A simple test for if something is a chemical change or not is if the reaction is irreversible, such as baking a cake. Quite a few chemical changes are reversible, however you can almost be certain that a physical change is reversible, such as water <-> ice.
