Can I cook 2 cakes in the oven at the same time? Will it affect temperature or cooking time?
One Armed Scissor asked:
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?

No it does not. Only if you have a different amount of batter in one pan.

The cakes wouldnt be bad idea as long as you shouldnt need to add much if any time rotating the cakes wouldnt be bad idea as you shouldnt need to add much in the process.
The cakes wouldnt be bad idea as long as long as you can do it quickly wo the cakes wouldnt be.

Every oven is different. If you aren’t familiar with your oven, I would recommend trading shelf places half way through cooking.

The same amount batter in each pan it should not matter.
