Good question.

From measurements I did on one of my electric ovens, running
1.5 hours at 300 F (a reasonable time and temperature estimate
for a cheesecake, including preheating) used about 1.1
kilowatt hours.

In my area, a KWH costs as much as 18 cents depending on your
total monthly usage (cost per KWH gets more expensive the
more you use).

That makes the cost in this case 19.8 cents.
