Well. If you made the half cake from a box then do and estimate for about half the time for a whole cake. I LOVE baking.

What does humectant do when baking cakes?
it retains moisture in your cake, so your cake will retain soft for longer time
What degree do you have to have on baking a cake?
Usually about 350. But the time varies depending on the ingredients and how big the cake is itself. :) Hope that helps!
When baking a cake from scratch in a disposable tin should you decrease the cooking time and by how much?
No, do not decrease the baking time when using a disposable tin. But as always, watch the cake and test for doneness when the edges pull away from the sides of the tin.
Should you put a baking sheet underneath a silicon bundt pan?
Trying out my first silicon bundt pan, I wasn't sure if it would be stable enough when filled with cake batter to transfer into the oven without a spill and if the wire oven rack would be enough for adequate support. I put a small baking sheet under it. The results were awful. The cake looked done and delicious from what I could see, but when I let it cool thoroughly and turned it out onto a serving plate, about 2/3 of the cake was still uncooked and I ended up with a large chocolate lake in the center. Next time I will try it without the baking sheet and see how that does. One idea is that it probably needs the hot air to circulate through the middle opening in order to cook completely.
I want to divide the mixture of a ginger cake mix into two tins will it take the same time to cook or should I half the time?
It will take somewhat more than half the time required for a cake in one large tin. Without clear directions for baking in two pans, one should bake the cakes about 3/4 of the time required for a single pan, then begin testing, and remove the cakes when they test done. When a cake is done, a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake will come out clean, without moist crumbs sticking to it. Thank you :)
Can you bake a cake while baking a roast?
yes i do it all the time. it usually turns out delicious.
Cake baking time is 55 minutes but the cake is not done how much longer should it bake?
You should bake it for another 5-10 minutes
Can you bake a cake in bread pans?
Cakes can be baked in bread pans, but more cooking time may be needed to ensure the batter cooks thoroughly. Although conversion may be required for traditional sheet cakes, many coffee cakes and pound cake recipes are designed for baking in loaf pans.
How can I find a cake recipe that everyone will love?
I believe any cake recipe calls for a moist cake. The moisture however is in the preparation and ingredients involced. That as well as cooking time, maybe try more egg, or less baking time.
Can oven door be opened during baking a cake?
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.
If you double the ingredients in a recipe do you need to double the cooking time?
You will want to cook it longer but it just depends on what it is. For example...baking a cake, the more batter in the cake pan the longer it takes to cook. But if you cook the same amount in two different cake pans then no...
Why did your cake come out crumbly?
Angel food cake is very delicate. You cannot touch the cake, even one time, when you have your cake in the oven. If you do, it will fall every time. You cannot move it, touch it, prick it, or any form of movement near the oven when you are baking the cake. I have seen it every time. They are delicate and cannot be moved or touched during baking time.
