User: What's the quickest way to bake a cake?
Assistant: The quickest way to bake a cake is to preheat the oven to the temperature specified in the recipe and prepare the ingredients by combining the wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls. Next, mix the ingredients together in a large bowl until the consistency is smooth before transferring the batter to a greased baking pan. Finally, put the baking pan in the oven and bake for the amount of time indicated in the recipe.
