Cakes baked through the spectrum of temperatures between 300áµ F and 400áµ F display gradual variants of these two extremes. Baking at 350áµ F is sort of a happy medium between 300áµ F and 400áµ F and creates a cake that has the best of both worlds. It has lightness, texture and caramelization induced flavor.
Infrared radiation, especially at close range, has a tendency to char things (which is great when you are trying to cook steaks), while hot air does not have that tendency (which is great for cakes). In a normal kitchen oven, what most people are interested in is baking things like cakes or biscuits. So if you are baking a cake and the directions say, Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes, then ideally you would place the cake in a box (an oven) that contains still air at a constant temperature of 350 degrees F.
