Answer 2

The boxed mixes you find in the grocery stores are very good. Make sure that you buy a name brand one and look for the "best by" date, and get the one that's furthest away. Some mixes just require a couple of eggs and some water. Just follow the instructions (you might have to use the high-altitude over 5000 feet in elevation) and you'll get a very tasty cake. If you want to try baking one from "scratch" try the food network.
Don't forget to grease and flour the pan (non-stick included).

Or if you really want to cheat, you can go to the bakery of your local store and ask for an unfrosted cake (be prepared for the strange looks), and get some frosting and frost it yourself - wahlah - a cake that you "made" yourself.

Answer 4

It sounds like you have never made a cake-- so if I were you, I would start with some cake mix-- but create a good one so that is totally looks home made, and not out of a box-
INGREDIENTS
1 (19.8 ounce) package brownie mix
2 (3.9 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
1 (16 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed
3 (1.4 ounce) bars chocolate covered English toffee

DIRECTIONS
Prepare brownies according to package directions. Let cool.
Mix pudding according to package directions.
In a glass punch bowl, layer in the following order: 1/2 of the brownie, crumbled; 1/2 of the pudding; 1 toffee bar, crushed; 1/2 of the whipped topping.
Repeat layers in the same order. Save the last toffee bar to crumble and sprinkle on top before serving.
Refrigerate. Best if made the day before you serve it.

Go to www.foodnetwork.com and you can search for any cake recipe your in the mood for and you can also search by your favorite food network chef. I would try something by Paula Deen or Emeril Lagasse.

To prepare oven, pan: Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter loaf pan. Dust with flour.

To make cake:
In medium bowl, beat butter until creamy. Gradually beat in sugar and cream until mixture is light. Add eggs, beating thoroughly after each addition. Continue beating until batter is very light. Fold in cake flour, lemon juice and lemon zest.

Cocoa Layer Cake
This easy chocolate cake is made with cocoa - mixed in one bowl.
2 cups sifted cake flour

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
2/3 cup shortening
