What 180°C is used for
Moderate oven
180°C is the single most common baking temperature in UK recipes: Victoria sponge, cupcakes and brownies are typically baked at 180°C (160°C fan, Gas Mark 4). The exact conversion is 356°F, but American recipes round it to 350°F.
Typical uses at this heat: sponge cakes, cupcakes, brownies, biscuits.
Not sure your oven really reaches 180°C? Many ovens run hotter or cooler than the dial. See how to check your oven’s temperature.
How to convert 180°C to °F
Multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32:
324 + 32 = 356°F
The quick “double it and add 30” trick gives 390°F, which is 34°F too high at this temperature. That’s fine for weather but not for baking, so use the exact figure.
