Sure! Xeno's Paradox of Cooking! Just put it in the oven for exactly half the proper cooking time, then put the cake in for exactly half the previous time ever after, and the cake will *never* get done.
Works with roast turtle, too!

In principle, of course. The problem is the time. So the cake would be molded over before long... As the cake decomposed, the definition and requirements for the cake to be "baked" will change... If you could put the cake in a sterile oven, and try this experiment with exact timing, then yes, you would be able to do it forever.

theoretically but since cakes heat from the outside in as you continue to "half bake" each time the inside would still not be done but the outside would be burned.

Sounds possible. Though there is one criteria that would have to be meet, otherwise it will burn. Ensure that the moisture content remains the same at each bake season as was originally.

Yes, although you wouldn't be able to eat it. It would only burn if the heat was too high.
After time it would get all hard and moldy, too....

No. No you couldn't. You'd burn it the second time.
