<human>:  What is the best way to bake a cake?
<bot>: The best way to bake a cake is to start by preheating the oven to the appropriate temperature for the cake you're baking. Next, you'll need to combine the cake ingredients in a bowl, stirring them together until a smooth, even consistency is achieved. After that, all you have to do is pour the batter into a greased cake pan and pop it into the preheated oven. After the cake has baked for the indicated amount of time, take it out of the oven and let it cool before serving. Enjoy!
