designated cooking time.
Until it reaches the temperature required for the recipe. Most ovens nowadays have a thermostat with a light that will glow red while the oven is heating and click off when the temperature has been reached.
Oven thermometers are available to hang on the shelf inside the oven and measure the internal temperature.
Failing these, 10 - 15 minutes would be sufficient. By then the oven should be hot enough to begin baking, even if you need to add a little baking time at the other end to ensure the cake is done.
Restrict your opening of the oven when placing the cake in, and during the baking time, to the minimum - heat escapes each time you open the oven door and it takes time for the oven to reach the required temperature again.

The time required to preheat an oven will depend on the oven, its insulation, the size of its heating element, and the required temperature. Most ovens have an indicator light on the front panel that shows when the element is working to raise the temperature, and as soon as they reach the temperature the light goes out. Pizza is baked at a high temperature and this may take longer to be reached than a moderate temperature for cake baking. Some ovens can take less than 5 minutes and some may take up to 20 to reach a temperature.
An oven temperature of 175Β°C is equivalent to 347Β°Fahrenheit. This temperature is commonly used for baking recipes that require moderate heat, such as baking cakes, cookies, and some types of bread. Make sure to preheat your oven to this temperature before placing your food inside for even cooking.
