I am having a baby shower on saturday and need a yummy cake recipe i want something tasty ,i was ordering a cake but they are way to busy so that sucked so anyones ideas would be great i wanna do the blue and the pink icing but the cake im unsure onWhats some yummy cake recipes that are not to hard?
Just make a cake with cake mix and make it easy on yourself. That is probably what the people do at the place you were ordering.
ADD-
Vanilla and Butter flavoring
an orange cake would have orange, lemon -lemon etc.
good luck
P.S.- are you having the baby?Whats some yummy cake recipes that are not to hard?
My favorite cake and icing recipe is chocolate... and it's on the back of any Hershey's Cocoa box :) For a vanilla icing, you make it the way they say on the cocoa box... just omit the cocoa. It comes out really yummy! Why not just do sprinkles in or on the vanilla frosting? :) You get pink and blue!
This recipe is quick and yummy if it's just for you, though:
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (Microwave Safe)
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT!

EIGHT SERVINGS
Prep Time: 40 min (plus Cooling)
Cook Time: 45 min
Ingredients
3 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
13 large egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Seven-Minute Frosting (see recipe)
1. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375掳. Pulse the chocolate in a food processor until finely ground; reserve. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and 3/4 cup of the sugar until combined; reserve.
2. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whisk, mix the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt on low speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium and beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, then beat the egg whites at medium-high speed until fluffy and just stiff.
3. Remove the bowl from the mixer, sift one-third of the flour mixture over the egg whites and fold it in with a large spatula until just blended. Add the vanilla and fold in the remaining flour in 2 batches. Fold in the reserved ground chocolate and scrape the batter into a 10-inch tube pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Invert the pan and place the tube opening over the neck of a bottle to suspend the cake, then let cool completely, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
4. Unmold the Chocolate Chip Angel Food Cake and coat generously with the Seven-Minute Frosting.

MAKES SIX CUPS
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Ingredients
1 cup plus two tablespoons granulated sugar
3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1. In a large saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a simmer. In a large stainless-steel bowl, combine the sugar, egg whites, 1/4 cup of water, the cream of tartar and the salt. Set the bowl over the simmering water and beat the egg whites with a whisk or handheld mixer until the frosting holds stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.
2. Remove the bowl and continue to beat until cooled and billowy, about 2 minutes more. Beat in the vanilla and frost the cake.
You could do make a design with pink and blue icing on the top or at the sides of the cake using the same frosting and adding coloring.
Super simple cake ideas:
Melted Ice Cream Cake:
White Cake Mix
2 Cups Melted Ice Cream (any flavor)
3 Eggs
Mix well and pour into greased and floured bundt pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean.
I made this recently for a work picnic. I used a chocolate fudge cake mix and chocolate ice cream. I used the funfetti icing (Chocolate of course). I did the same thing with a Strawberry cake mix and Strawberry Ice Cream with Strawberry icing.
You can also follow the advice found in the Cake Mix Doctor. Simple substitutions to a box mix makes it taste like it was from scratch. Instead of the oil, use melted butter and instead of water, use milk. You can also add a teaspoon or two of an extract. If you are making a chocolate cake, to make it much more rich, use buttermilk (or add buttermilk powder found in the baking aisle) and 3 Tablespoons of Cocoa powder.
Enjoy and good luck with the shower.
These 2 are both VERY VERY delicious;

try a plain sponge cake has to be really easy, and the blue and pink icing will look good on it.
This ones a family favorite-
-3 eggs
-few handfuls of flour
-and some kool-aid
Good stuff,
Bob
this ones really easy and low-fat too!
basic sponge:
3 eggs
3oz sugar (caster or just granulated)
3oz self-raising flour
1. preheat your oven to about 180C or 160C for fan-assisted oven. grease 2 sandwich tins (7 or 8';).
2. beat the eggs and sugar together until very pale and bubbly. its essential that this is goes really fluffy so the cake turns out lovely and light, so i would advise you to do this with an electric hand whisk or even better in a food processor.
3. gradually fold in the flour a tablespoon-full at a time, using a metal spoon. or if you are using a food processor, add gradually and pulse so it just mixes in and doesn't knock the air out of the egg mixture.
4. divide the cake mix between the 2 cake tins and bake for 15-20 mins. (cooking times will vary depending on the size of tins you use and the type of oven, so just keep an eye on the cakes a few minutes before 15 mins etc.)
5. remove from the oven after the cooking time, and check that they are ready by lighltly pressing the top of the cake. it should be just firm enough that it springs back. leave the cakes in the tins for a few minutes, then loosen the edges with a knife and turn out onto a cooling rack.
6. when the cakes are almost completely cool, start to make the filling(below)
buttercream filling:
6oz icing sugar
3oz butter or margerine
1/2 tsp vanilla extract or flavour
-cream the butter in a bowl, then mix in the icing sugar and vanilla until pale and fluffy. this can also be done in the food processor, which will make it very light!
%26gt;(if the cakes have risen a bit too much, cut the top off one using a serrated knife)
7. spread the buttercream over the top of the flattened sponge (you may not need all of it) (top with jam if you like) then place the other cake on top.
*the top of the cake can be iced however you like, with plain icing (icing sugar and water) or with any leftover buttercream. i usually just use a sieve to dust some icing sugar over the top. it is now ready to serve!
* a chocolate version of this is also very easy, just sift 2 tbsps of cocoa powder in with the flour in step 3, and for chocolate buttercream, add 1-2 tbsps cocoa powder as well!!
