Tips for Baking: Most baking recipes that call for 350°F are written for a regular (conventional) oven. If you’re using a convection oven, the fan circulates hot air and makes desserts bake faster and more evenly, so you should usually lower the temperature to 325°F. At the same temperature, convection can bake items about 20–25% faster, meaning cookies or cakes that normally take 12 minutes may finish in about 9–10 minutes, and a 30-minute cake may be done in about 22–24 minutes. Lowering the temperature helps cookies and cakes bake evenly without over-browning the edges. 🍪🎂I always bake using my convection oven, so please monitor your baking time and always use a toothpick to check for doneness.
