Could you cook a simple cake?

[jack]

In the spirit of scientific enquiry:

I make a cake every month or more often
I make a cake a couple of times a year
I've occasionally made a cake
I learnt when I was younger, but couldn't remember how now
My parents (or similar) taught me.
I was taught at school.
I was supposedly taught at school, but it didn't really help
I said I could, but actually they don't turn out very well

My mother makes this Italian Cream Cake that starts with a dozen eggs. I haven't mastered that, but I can certainly manage brownies or a simple chocolate cake and frosting, from scratch.
