<human>:  How do I bake the perfect cake?
<bot>: To bake the perfect cake, the first step is to make sure you have all of the necessary ingredients. Then, preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. Next, mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl, and then mix the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl. Once both mixtures have been combined, pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Finally, let the cake cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
