1 c. water
1 c. oil
2 c. sugar
3 c. flour (if you use all-purpose flour, add 3 tsp. baking powder & 3 tsp. salt)
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix it all up and bake at 350 for 40 - 50 minutes. Makes a 9x13 (pyrex size) tray, or 2 8" rounds, or 24 cupcakes...

Icing is harder to mix up by hand, although I have done it. I do a cup shortening (Crisco) to 3 cups icing sugar, 2 tbsp. water, and 1 tsp. vanilla. Or you can get the Wilton or Cake Mate icing tubes (OU, I think) and decorating tips. Duncan Hines also has a ready made icing, but I think it's dairy (also OU, not cholov yisrael).

Good luck!

Without a mixer, I'd use cake mix. For frosting, I'd buy a tub of marshmallow fluff or chocolate spread or ready made cream (Bakers Choice makes them). For decorations, go with Wilton. They have all kinds off stuff. check out their website for ideas.
