Cake making can be a complex process with different recipes and techniques depending on the type of cake being made. However, I can give you a general procedure for making a basic cake:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Procedure:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a cake pan by greasing it with butter and dusting it with flour.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing it from the pan and placing it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate the cake as desired with frosting, fruit, or other toppings.
This is just a basic recipe and there are many variations and techniques to making cake, but this should give you a good starting point. Keep in mind that cake making can be a complex process and may take practice to perfect.
