<bot>: The best way to make a homemade birthday cake for your son's party is to start by gathering all of your ingredients. This could include butter, sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, eggs, and any other desired flavorings or decorations you may have in mind. Once you've gathered your ingredients, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your recipe. Next, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder) with a mixer until they are combined well. Then add the wet ingredients (butter, sugar, eggs, etc.) and mix them together until they are completely incorporated. Finally, pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake it according to the instructions on your recipe. When finished, let the cake cool before adding any toppings or decorations. Enjoy!
