Answer 2

Do you mean for a teenage girl to bake (or simply for a teenage girl ...say birthday)?
Pound cake is a good one for a teenage girl new to baking to make
Here is a recipe:
Cream Cheese Pound Cake
1 1/2 cups butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
3 cups white sugar
1 Tbs vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract (optional)
6 eggs
3 cups cake flour
1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease one 10 inch tube pan.
2 Cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light. Stir in the vanilla and the almond extracts. Add the flour and the eggs alternately, beginning and ending with the flour. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
3 Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
Servings: 14
Yield: 10 inch tube pan.

Here is an even easier one that uses a box cake as a base:

Chocolate Lovers' Favorite Cake
1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups sour cream
1 cup melted butter
5 eggs
1 tsp almond extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch Bundt pan.
2 In a large bowl, stir together cake mix and pudding mix. Make a well in the center and pour in sour cream, melted butter, eggs and almond extract. Beat on low speed until blended. Scrape bowl, and beat 4 minutes on medium speed. Blend in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3 Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
Servings: 12
Yield: 1 - 10 inch Bundt cake.
