350°F (177°C) is the default baking temperature in American cooking. Most cakes, cookies, and quick breads call for it. The Maillard reaction occurs at a moderate pace, letting baked goods cook through without burning. Cakes bake 25–35 min, cookies 10–14 min, muffins 18–22 min. For convection ovens, reduce by 25°F (to 325°F/163°C). Also ideal for casseroles and reheating leftovers.
Did You Know?
350°F became the default partly because older gas ovens' middle setting happened to produce ~350°F, which worked for most baked goods.
