<human>:  What is the easiest way to bake a cake?
<bot>: The easiest way to bake a cake is to follow a simple recipe and use basic baking ingredients such as all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, butter, eggs, and milk. Make sure to preheat the oven and carefully measure all ingredients, then combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Next, combine the wet and dry ingredients, pour the batter into a greased cake pan, and bake at the temperature indicated in the recipe. Once the cake is finished baking, let it cool before adding icing or decorations.
