"Baking of Flat Cakes" (Spanish: "La cocción de las tortas") is a genre painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1675. This work is part of a series of paintings that depict everyday life in 17th-century Seville, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the common people and their activities. Murillo is renowned for his religious works and his tender representations of the Virgin and child, but his genre paintings, such as "Baking of Flat Cakes," offer a glimpse into the secular and provide a valuable record of the customs and social conditions of his time.

The painting portrays a domestic scene where women are engaged in the preparation and baking of flat cakes, a staple food item in the period. The composition is noted for its realistic portrayal of the figures and the attention to detail in the depiction of the kitchen setting and the baking process. The warm, earthy tones and the play of light and shadow demonstrate Murillo's mastery of chiaroscuro and contribute to the intimate atmosphere of the scene.

"Baking of Flat Cakes" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its sociocultural context. It reflects the shift in European art towards genre scenes of everyday life, which gained popularity in the 17th century. Murillo's ability to infuse such scenes with a sense of dignity and humanity adds to the painting's enduring appeal.

The painting is held in a private collection, and its provenance and exhibition history contribute to its scholarly interest. As with many of Murillo's works, "Baking of Flat Cakes" has been the subject of art historical research, which examines its place within the artist's oeuvre and the broader context of Spanish Baroque art. The painting remains an important example of Murillo's contribution to genre painting and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
