Meanwhile swap them to get normal baking and cooking without a predefined recipe. Anyone can cook and have it turn out well. If you do not have at least a masters in chemistry and you try to bake, it will fucking explode, burn, still be frozen in the center (even if it wasn't before), be too salty, need a little bit more salt, implode, and make the entire house smell like it's on fire until the heat death of the universe 5 seconds after you put it in the oven.

If you have a recipe they're fairly similar, but baking is more precise while cooking usually requires more direct attention.

Iblove cooking. I fucking hate baking. I just don't get it. How can a cake be burnt on the outside and liquid on the inside when I follow every step of the recipe super accurately

The key is that you're usually not following the recipe as accurately as you think.

Also, burnt out & liquid in means too hot. Calibrate your oven so you're actually baking at the temps the recipe calls for!
