Convection ovens are good for things like cookies and pies, but the blowing fan is not so good for cakes. Cake batter is typically lighter and fluffier, and the moving air can affect the cake batter by bursting the air bubbles in the batter, causing the cake to fall and become dense in texture. So I would not recommend baking cakes in a convection oven unless you simply do not have any other option.

Just got a convection oven at a garage sale and am thrilled with it for everything. It makes ribs especially well.....and cornbread....
