A combination of heat paths will be in effect within an oven.

The main method of heat transportation will be radiation from the oven heating element to the surface of the cake which will heat the outer surface of the cake. Conduction will them allow this heat to transfer to the interior of the cake via contact paths between each molecule of cake mixture.

Conduction will also occur between any air particles which are in direct contact with the heating element, and should they then come into contact with the surface of the cake conduction will again take place between the heated air particle and the surface of the cake.

Convection will of course take place in the oven as well.

Would a cake in an oven represent a chemical reaction?

Yes, because the simplified definition of a 'chemical change or reaction' is "a change or reaction (usually dealing with extreme heat or cold) that CAN NOT be undone. Thus, a cooked cake can not be changed back to its originall state of batter.Hope I helped :)

Molecules ALWAYS bump into each other. In everything. Well, almost everything.

Does microwaving something for 1 minute produce the same effect as 2 consecutive 30 second heating cycles?

Well, let's think about that:The effect of the fire in a regular oven, gas or electric, is to cause heat to collecton the outside of the food. The heat then spreads throughout the food and cooks it.The effect of the radio waves in a microwave oven is to cause heat to appear onthe inside of the food. The heat then spreads throughout the food and cooks it.If you're following a recipe for a cake, and it says that the cake needs to bakefor 30 minutes, do you think you could achieve the same result by baking it1 minute a day for a month ?

How does heat transfer occur in an oven when baking a cake?

Heat transfer in an oven when baking a cake occurs through convection, conduction, and radiation. The oven's heating element or gas flame produces heat, which is then transferred to the air inside the oven through convection. The hot air circulates around the cake, transferring heat to the batter through conduction. Additionally, the walls of the oven emit infrared radiation, which also contributes to heating the cake.


Is a cake that is baked in the oven a physical or chemical?

Baking a cake in the oven is a chemical change. The heat from the oven causes the chemical reactions in the ingredients (like flour, eggs, and sugar) to take place, resulting in a new substance with different properties (cake).

Why does cake feel warm when they come out of the oven?

Cake feels warm when it comes out the oven because it is warm. Food retains heat, and even continues to cook after it has been removed from the oven. One of the reasons why you are supposed to put a cake on a cake rack when you take it out of the oven is because it is still warm, and if the cake doesn't have good air circulation on the bottom, the steam at the bottom of the cake could make it a little moist, or mushy, affect the texture.
