Simple Vanilla Cake

 My son's vacation has started and he's at home. Do I need any other special reason to bake a cake? 😊

So I decided to make a plain n simple cake with his favourite whipped cream frosting. 

 I'm a beginner in baking... Yeah, I know. The cake's icing exposes that😜.. Please excuse 😆
