Part 1: Your oven lies to you!
It lies to you regularly. That little digital readout on the front of your oven--that's a timer. It's not connected to a thermometer. It doesn't know what temperature it is.
Plus you lose a ton of heat when you open the door. There is a thermostat. It turns the elements on and off so the heat rises and falls. It's not a steady state. Wait until your oven reaches 350 before baking.

Part 2: Getting the baking time right
Baking times are always a variable. Times change with different ovens, different pans, and even how you beat the batter. It's no wonder people have so much trouble getting their bake times right.
This little guide will help you get your bake time right--cookies, breads, cakes, quick breads, and even pumpkin pies. Print it out and save it in your favorite cookbook.
