lol, i’m going to try it to see what the result is like. 
ok basic ingredients you need are:
flour
sugar
baking powder
eggs
milk
shortening (I prefer the no-name brands as opposed to Crisco)
that’s it.
Yes, make sure everything is at room temperature. mix it on low speed. never mix it on high speed cause that is what causes cakes to sink in the middle (too much air in the mixture). So mix it on low and don’t over beat it.
