A sponge cake is cooked by the heat transfer method of convection.
It depends on the type of baking you are doing.
microwave, oven types, stover types are all different.
The infrared heat is transferred to the food by radiation.
Its radiation
Radiation
Roasting and baking are both methods of cooking where the food is surrounded by heat on all sides. Roasting is usually at a higher temperature than baking. Broiling and grilling are both methods where the heat comes from only one side. When broiling the heat comes from above the food, grilling it comes from below.
Carryover baking continues to cook a baking product after you take it out of the oven because of the continuous heat being radiated from the food.
the heat is transferred by direct contact of particles of matter
Heat is directly transferred, like a frying pan.
energy is lost through heat excretion and movement
Heat is transferred through contact between molecules.
Heat transferred in convection occurs through movements of fluids.
Metals are good conductors of heat, so the heat from the stove is easily transferred to the food in the pot. Handles are made of plastic because plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so that the heat from the stove is not transferred to your hand when you grab the handle.
Heat is transferred from sand to towel to body by conduction because of direct contact.
