Also means
crop (of people)
Usage Note
Hornada literally means a single oven-load of bread or pastries, but it is widely used figuratively for a 'batch' or 'crop' of people trained or graduated together — la hornada de arquitectos de los años 90 (the crop of architects from the 90s). The metaphor of items baked together in one go is very transparent to native speakers.
Examples
"Sacó una hornada de galletas del horno."
Natural Translation
She took a batch of cookies out of the oven.
