"Estoy haciendo un pastel." "Hago un pastel."

In the case of food preparation it´s more natural to use preparar.

One says I am making a cake right now.

The second says either the same, or that you will in the near future, but in either case, I´d use preparar, as Julian says.

When I go to the translate function, it indicates the hacer is used like concinar (to cook).

The verb " Hornear" to bake also seems to work. I also agee with preparar. It probably boils down to personal peference
