Cake Timer OnlineFree cake timer for baking perfect cakes. 25–45 minute countdown with alarm. Works for layer cakes, bundt cakes, cupcakes, and brownies.Frequently asked questionsHow long do I set a cake timer for a standard layer cake?A standard 9-inch round layer cake at 350°F takes 28–35 minutes. Set the timer for 28 minutes, then check with a toothpick — it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter. Every oven varies, so always check a few minutes early.What's the right timer for cupcakes?Standard cupcakes at 350°F take 18–22 minutes. Mini cupcakes take 10–13 minutes. Set the timer 2 minutes early for the first batch since your oven may run hot. Cupcakes are done when they spring back when lightly pressed.How do I time a bundt cake vs a regular cake?Bundt cakes are denser and deeper than layer cakes, typically needing 45–60 minutes at 350°F. Set a 45-minute cake timer and test with a long skewer. The tube center allows better heat distribution than a solid round cake.Why does my cake sink even when the timer is right?Sinking often means underbaking, too much leavening, or opening the oven too early. Don't open the oven in the first 20 minutes — the pressure drop collapses a partially set structure. Also check that baking powder/soda are fresh.Can I use this timer for brownies?Yes. Fudgy brownies in an 8x8 pan at 350°F: 22–28 minutes. Cakey brownies: 30–35 minutes. Brownies are trickier — a toothpick should have a few moist crumbs, not clean (that means overbaked). Set the timer for 22 minutes and check frequently.
