Reciting a Cake Recipe on Shabbat

Question

Is it permissible to tell someone a cake recipe on Shabbat?

Answer

If it is for the purpose of someone making it on Shabbat, it is prohibited. However, if it is merely to hear the recipe, it is permitted. It is also permitted when it is for a halachic need, such as knowing what blessing to recite, or if there are concerns of kashrut or medical reasons, etc.
