Get a box of cake mix. Then you will just need eggs and oil.
Frosting is just lots of room temperature butter beat into powdered sugar and then you can add a flavor extract like vanilla or food coloring if you want. You can also make a cream cheese or a whipped cream based frosting.

I recommend buying the cake mix and making the frosting from scratch.
