Do different colored cakes have baking times?

No, the color of the cake batter doesn't typically affect the baking time.

The baking time is mainly determined by:

* Cake size and shape: A larger cake will take longer to bake than a smaller cake.

* Oven temperature: A hotter oven will bake the cake faster.

* Ingredients: Different ingredients can change the density of the cake batter, affecting how long it takes to bake. For example, a cake with a high fat content might take longer to bake.

The color of the batter comes from food coloring, which is a very small amount of ingredient. It doesn't significantly change the density or moisture of the cake, so it won't affect the baking time.

Important note: If you're using a lot of food coloring, it can sometimes create a "crust" on the cake's surface. This can make the cake take slightly longer to bake, but it's not a major difference.

The best way to determine if your cake is done is to insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
