    The basic ingredients required to make any kind of cake are flour, butter, eggs, milk, sugar and any flavoring essence if needed. Accordingly if one wanted to bake the ubiquitous butter cake one would require the above mentioned ingredients in proper quantities and an oven. Take 2 cups of flour, about one cup milk, 2 eggs, 1 cup sugar and � cup butter and one teaspoon vanilla.

    First mix the sugar and butter evenly, add the egg yolks and beat them in to the mixture until an even consistency is obtained, then add the flour and milk care should be taken to blend the mixture thoroughly so as to break any lumps and obtain a rich and creamy mixture. Finally the egg whites and vanilla essence should be added all the time mixing vigorously as the more one stirs the spongier and softer the cake will be. Pour the mixture into a cake pan that has been greased with oil and place it in the oven to be baked at a temperature of 375F for about half an hour by which time the cake becomes golden yellow in texture. Take out, let it cool and then enjoy.

      There are several types of cakes and their recipes are also different from each other. Her you have not mentioned which cake you want to make. Hence I am taking the liberty to give you a technique to make a cake of my choice. It is a very easy recipe and hence very easy to prepare. This recipe is to make a yellow cake.

      First preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Then combine flour, baking powder and salt in mixing bowl and set aside. Then use a hand mixer and beat butter at medium speed. Add sugar and vanilla to this mixture and beat well. After that add eggs and beat them well and then add dry flour and milk and mix them thoroughly. The next step is to put the batter into cake pans and bake them for around 30 to 35 minutes. After that take the cakes and cool them for ten minutes. Then remove the cakes from the pans and cool it thoroughly. Add your favourite frosting to the cake. The cake is ready for consumption.

        A great site for any kind of cooking question and recipes is www.cooks.com. They have a lot of great recipes and information available. There are a very wide assortment of cakes the first blurter was correct on the basics. However there are a wide assortment of cakes, some require more advanced techniques, odd or hard to find ingredients, higher or lower temperatures etc. My best suggestion is to find a recipe. When baking anything follow the recipe exactly. If it calls for a cup of flour level the cup to make it exact, don't measure over the line for a cup of milk etc. Follow the recipe exactly! Baking is more of a chemistry experiment than it is like other types of cooking.

          While you were given specific instructions which were great in making a cake, don't feel that cake making is such an ordeal.  We have excellent box mixes available at all stores.  These are excellent, easy to mix and bake and have many variations on the boxes.  I am not putting down anyone going to the trouble to make a cake from "Scratch" but just a note that is not the only way.  My favorite is Duncan Hines.  Moist, light, and delicious.  Happy baking!
