A CAKE THAT LOOKS PERFECT BUT TASTES LIKE CEMENT

Giving Raiden the benefit of the doubt that he can follow a recipe that was posted online, and that he can get robot wi-fi to work, it still isn't enough because of three reasons: The first is that Raiden has no sense of taste in his combat frame which means he can make a cake that looks great but he cannot taste test his own creation. The second is that online recipes always have caveats about your kitchen hardware, especially about your oven. Ovens come in lots of different sizes and shapes and each one will cook at a slightly different speed even when set to the same temperature. Which means trial and error. He has six hours BUT- this is where the third reason comes in. If you know nothing about the world of online recipes, let me inform you that recipes are Culture, not just lists of ingredients. In order to get to a real delicious cake recipe, Raiden will have to read several thousand words of family history and cultural biography for each recipe he decides to try. This will cost him valuable time, and in the end, I just don't think he's got it. I will add that Raiden would be very good at cutting his flavorless cake, but alas, no one would want to eat it.
