My Mom is making a cake. Its an old recipe, 50 - 70 yrs old (or older). All it says is to use a warm oven. No temperature range, just a warm oven. What temperature would this be?

Without any details on the recipe, it is hard to offer any firm recommendations. That said, I have had success using a convection oven on 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit), and checking for doneness with a bamboo skewer.

I think any recipe old enough to only mention "warm oven" will not anticipate convection.– SAJ14SAJCommented Feb 16, 2014 at 12:24

1+1, I have yet to see a standard cake for which 180 convection is a bad temperature (there are pastries which need it hotter, but they are not usually called "cake").– rumtscho ♦Commented Feb 16, 2014 at 13:27
