Making ds a birthday cake, what ingredients do i need?

[Thecharmed1]

Trying to do a quick list of ingredients i need to today, as dh is baking it tonight!

So far i have flour, eggs, sugar

anything else you can think of? My mind has now gone blank

Butter/marg.
What sort of cake? If you're doing a 2 layer one you'll need jam & icing sugar for the buttercream (or pot of whipping cream if you're doing fresh cream)

cocoa if a choc cake. Baking powder? I always use some with sr flour if doing all in one method. Vanilla essence.

Was gonna be doing a 2 layer sponge and dh wants to ice it as well!
