No you can not leave the oven door open when you are baking a cake because the cake batter uses the heat to rise and bake according to an accurate baking time and temperature. If you have the oven door open, you are allowing the heat to escape the oven causing inappropriate baking temperature and time.
For example:
If I am baking a cake that requires 20 minutes under 375 Fahrenheit degree. Leaving the oven open will cause the temperature to by an inaccurate 375 Fahrenheit degree causing the need to extend the regular 20 minute baking time because the batter wouldn't be fully baked.
However, you can open the door to test the cake for doneness or other quick procedures. Just be gentle. Some types of cakes may fall if disturbed.

∙ 7y agoSome cakes might fall if you open the oven while baking. It causes a loss of heat which may affect baking time. A soufflé may fall too. You can also burn yourself on steam.

Why does a cake fall?
If a cake falls during baking, it is usually a result of fallen temperature or cooking the cake at the wrong temperature. Baking a cake for longer on a lower temperature will ensure it is not undercooked/heavy in the middle.To make sure heat is not let out, it is best to only open the oven door when you are 3/4 into baking.Another main cause of 'falling' in a cake is that the mixture is too dense. To tackle this problem, make sure the cake mixture is mixed really well before baking it. However, cakes don't rise when you beat the flour too much. This can be avoided by using self-rising flour or by adding in a teaspoon of baking powder to the recipe.Note that too much raising agent can result in a sag in the middle.
