If you are new to it and have a 5 year old helping I would recommend an all in one cake, there are plenty out there if you google all in one cake.

Generally, you'll need:

  • an electric whisk or food processor or food mixer
  • a 20cm cake tin
  • some greaseproof paper to line the tin with
  • ingredients for cake of choice ( eggs, butter, sugar, icing sugar and flour for sure )
  • spatula useful for scraping bowl
  • capacious mixing bowl if you don't have food proc or food mixer
  • butter knife or palette knife for levelling mix and spreading over icing
  • aprons for you and DS
  • lots of patience
  • and an oven

Have fun! And let him lick the bowl/spoons.
