The English verb BAKE has its pair in Serbian word PEĆI
(bake). Are these words cognates or not?

Not. English <bake> is from an extended form of PIE *bHeh1-
'to warm', and Serbian <peći> is from PIE *pekW- 'to cook'.
But one needn't know the PIE roots to know that they can't
be the same: PIE *bH-, the source of Gmc. *b-, also yields
*b- in Slavic, while PIE *p-, the source of Slavic *p-,
yields *f- in Gmc.
