Can you give me a quick cake recipe to bake right now..?
I came back from A&P.I saw a mini cake for two there (all real cream-no bad ingredients)But it was so expensive so i didn buy. I have eggs, butter (for icing) coco powder (not dutch processed though), some choclate chips (turned to solid from previous melting)and many other stuff. Can you give me a simple cake recipe that i can bake, prefrebly with icing too.(but just muffins are fine as well) It can be white or chocolate (i have vanillin , lemon etc...)

Hot Chocolate Cake
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for coating 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting 1/2 cup sugar, plus extra for dusting 10 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 4 large eggs 1 large egg yolk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup mini marshmallows 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 375° F. Generously butter, flour, and sugar eight 6-ounce coffee cups or mugs made of ovenproof stoneware (see tip below). Wipe the rims clean.
Place the 8 tablespoons of butter and the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water and melt, stirring once or twice until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.
Using a handheld mixer, beat the eggs, yolk, vanilla, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar at the highest speed until the volume doubles and the mixture becomes foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir the 3 tablespoons of flour into the chocolate, then gradually add it to the egg mixture, beating on low until it's fully incorporated. Ladle the batter into each cup until it's about 1/2 inch from the rim.
Bake until the cakes puff and begin to crack but the centers are still a bit runny, 13 to 17 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with marshmallows, then return to oven for 2 to 4 minutes, until the marshmallow tops begin to crisp. Remove from oven; let cool about 5 minutes. Sift the cocoa on top.
Tip: You can bake these individual cakes in coffee mugs or teacups, or use eight 6-ounce ramekins. (To determine if your mugs are ovenproof, refer to the packaging or check with the manufacturer.) Alternatively, a single cake can be made in a 10-inch springform pan or pie plate with enough regular-size marshmallows to cover. To do this, increase the initial baking time to 22 to 25 minutes or, if you prefer a more gooey center, to 17 to 20 minutes ==
WHITE CAKE 1 1/4 cups sugar 1/2 cup Crisco shortening (white preferably) 2 large eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup buttermilk or milk 2 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon almond extract --Set oven to 350 degrees. Set oven rack to second-lowest position. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, and line bottom of pan with parchment paper. In a medium or large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the sugar and shortening until no granules remain (about 4 minutes). Add in eggs and almond extract (if using); beat very well for 5 minutes on high speed. In a small bowl sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the creamed mixture along with the buttermilk; mix well until blended (about 2-3 minutes). Transfer to a prepared baking pan. Bake on second-lowest oven rack for 30-35 minutes (check for doneness after 25 minutes, this cake bakes fast!). ===
