Baking is a chemical reaction for a few reasons. First off, heat is being applied to change a substance (cake mix / batter) into another substance (baked cake). Reactions occur such as water and moisture turning to steam as a result of the heat, and ingredients like water and baking soda / powder react to create a fluffy cake.

FranBaking a cake involves a chemical change because the heat from the oven causes the ingredients to react and transform into a new substance with different properties. For example, the chemical reactions between the flour, sugar, eggs, and leavening agents create a cake with a different texture and taste than the individual ingredients.
