Can I bake 2 cakes in the oven at the same time? Will it affect temperature?

[wingmark]

Hi,

I have one cake on the top shelf and one on the bottom, both of the same size and same mixture. It's a fan-forced oven heated to 160C or 320F and the recipe recommends I cook for 45-50mins. Does having 2 cakes in the oven make a difference? Will I need to adjust cooking time or temperature. Will I need to rotate the cakes?

Regards

Yes, more or less will be affected. U need to rotate and also bring the top to the bottom, and the bottom to the top to bake.

Yup! When using good quality commercial ovens then many things can be baked together. After all, that's their advantage.

I did bake two different flavor cakes at the same time and didn't have any issue whatsoever during the process...!!

try not to because the heat won't be evenly distributed!

It depends on which brand's oven you are using. If it is high brand then you should have no problem to bake 2 cakes together. High quality and branded oven has advanced features or techniques which help it to bake multiple things at same time and varying temperature.
