It is my sons 2nd bday this month, and I really want to make his cake.A sponge with jam and buttercream icing would be ideal,but other ideas are very welcome too! Thanks in advance ppl! xAnyone know a good bday cake recipe?
It's easy to make your own...just don't think it's overwhelming.
Buy a cake mix off the shelf (yes, off the shelf and follow the directions).
Use two round pans (buy them if you have to, I recommend 9'; or 8'; rounds)
Buy you Son's fave Jam, maybe two small jars or one big one.
Buy the premade frosting in a tub (at least two if not three)
Bake the cakes, let them cool, put the first layer down on a plate or board, put the jam on the top, go to the very edge of the cake (make sure it's cooled). Slather the jam, the more the better!
Put the next cake layer on top. So what if some comes out the side (remember your pb%26amp;j sandwiches years ago...they still tasted great)!
Open the frosting and dump, yes, dump all of it on top. Use the second batch too, dump it on top as well. Then, take a knife, spoon or whatever you go and start smoothing the frosting all over the cake and down the sides, all the way to the plate or board.
It doesn't matter if it looks pretty or has a few flaws...it's gonna taste great! Take photos because it's going to make your Son happy!
In the years I've made cakes for people - Birthdays, Graduations, Wedding, Father's Day, Mother's Day, and I could go on and on...it truely means a lot to have a loved one make the special dessert.
Throw yourself into it and you'll be glad you participated!
Good Luck...Let us know how your Son's ';day'; turns out!Anyone know a good bday cake recipe?

5 fluid oz corn oil (or other veg. oil but NOT OLIVE)
Prepare two tins, at least 8” diameter, or a ring cake tin.
Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly. Mix all wet ingredients thoroughly.
Mix wet into dry, and stir until mixed. This should be really quite sloppy. Pour into tin/s.
Bake in ready-heated oven at mark 3, 325 degrees or 160 degrees.
They will take exactly 45 minutes.
Split and fill and/or ice if you like. (Wonderful if filled with stiffly-beaten cream and raspberries for sumptuous pud.)
Note
If you change the quantities or ingredients or temperatures or baking times the cake won’t work.
Note 2. This cake is low in cholesterol, as it uses oil instead of hard fat.

Marzipan for the toes, cheeks, ears, and could be the feet. You can cut the edges down on the bottom cake (it looks smaller then the top one) and use the left over half circles for the arms. You could also bake up some sugar cookies and shape them how you need. Twinkies also come to mind as an option or a banana covered in frosting. Have fun and be imaginative.
