Any good cake recipes?

My cousin's birthday party is Monday, and I am in charge of making the cake because I'm the one in the family who loves baking. I texted her and asked her what kind she wanted, but she never replied. I have no idea what kind to make her, and I don't really want to use a mix from a box. Does anyone know of a cake recipe that everyone would like that isn't too complicated? It can be any flavor.Any good cake recipes?
