<human>:  How long should I set my timer for when baking a cake?
<bot>: It depends on the type of cake and the size of the pan. Generally, a cake will take between 30-45 minutes to bake. When baking a cake, it is recommended to check the cake at the lower end of the baking time range and then continue baking as needed until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
