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.
