Important notes:

1. Pan size: Foil cake pans come in various sizes, so make sure to check the size of your pan and adjust the baking time accordingly.
2. Cake recipe: The baking time will also depend on the type of cake recipe you're using. Cakes with more liquid ingredients, like butter or oil, may take longer to bake than those with less liquid.
3. Oven temperature: Always preheat your oven to the correct temperature, and make sure it's accurate. This will affect the baking time.
4. Check the cake: It's essential to check the cake frequently during the baking time to avoid overcooking. Use a toothpick or cake tester to ensure the cake is cooked through.

General baking times for foil cake pans:

• Small foil cake pans (6-8 inches):
  • 15-20 minutes for a simple cake recipe (e.g., pound cake)
  • 20-25 minutes for a cake with more liquid ingredients (e.g., butter or oil)
• Medium foil cake pans (8-10 inches):
  • 20-25 minutes for a simple cake recipe
  • 25-30 minutes for a cake with more liquid ingredients
• Large foil cake pans (10-12 inches):
  • 25-30 minutes for a simple cake recipe
  • 30-35 minutes for a cake with more liquid ingredients

Additional tips:

1. Line the pan: Always line the foil cake pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent the cake from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
2. Don't overfill: Leave about 1-2 inches of space between the cake batter and the top of the pan to allow for expansion during baking.
3. Rotate the pan: Rotate the pan halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking and prevent hot spots.
4. Check for doneness: Use a toothpick or cake tester to check if the cake is cooked through. If it's not, continue baking in 5-minute increments until it's done.

Remember, these are general guidelines, and the actual baking time may vary depending on your specific recipe and oven. Always keep an eye on your cake while it's baking, and adjust the time as needed. Happy baking!
