My sister will be celebrating her birthday soon and I am suppose to buy a cake for her. Instead of buying a cake I want to bake one. I am a pretty good baker, but I need a recipe of a birthday cake. Any recipes for any types of cakes will be greatly appreciated.

Just bake what she likes! A birthday cake can be anything, shape, flavor, texture, cake mixes, brownie mixes or a really complex recipe. Just add candles. That will make it a birthday cake.
After you get the cake baked and your are ready to decorate it, get a pkg of Twizzlers Twists. They make all flavors and colors now. Cut them in half to make how ever many candles you will need for the b-day girl. Insert a candle in one end of each Twist and push the other end into the cake.
S.B., you asked for a "birthday cake recipe." Do you really mean the cake itself, or the decorations? Decorating would depend on age & things she likes. For the cake, which I thought you meant, her favorite would be best; but what comes to my mind is "wedding-cake white." That's so very simple, and delicious. What is it? It's simply white cake with almond extract added!
Quick and simple decorating for a cake is to pick icing colors that suit the birthday girl, write a simple Happy Birthday (Sis) or whatever you choose (Go girl, whatever!) and add some flowers on and/or around the cake. Fresh work, but if you're concerned get some artificial flowers (her favorites or orchids, roses, whatever) and 'dismantle' the blossoms & some leaves from the stems if they're too large.
Have some fun with it, an' if you're timid about writing with icing, practice on waxed paper or a plate (maybe the size of the cake as well, to make sure you can get all on you want to!).
I really miss being able to make birthday cakes for the family as I did many years ago. Again, have fun! Good luck
Hi S.B. Well, I'd started chatting atcha a couple hours ago--too many interruptions! Meanwhile, eggz chimed in with the obvious.
Anyhow, whatever cake is her favorite--and for decorating, simplicity would be Happy Birthday Sis'name, which you can write with icing or buy suggar-letters in the baking section at the grocery store. (Don't forget you can write anything you want as well!) Flowers are a simple addition--fresh are fine, but if you're concerned, get some artificial ones. If too large, take blossoms & some leaves from the stems and place on/around the cake.
Her favorite cake, her favorite colors, her favorite flowers...cinch.
When I first read "cake recipe" I thought of Wedding-Cake White. That's easy, and delicious. It's just white cake mix with almond extract added.
I sure miss being able to do home-made b'day & special occasion cakes! Good luck, and have fun!
How about a chocolate cake (any recipe you like) and make the filling a chocolate mousse -white mousse with a touch of raspberry jelly- then top with chocolate frosting, some chocolate shavings and a few raspberries. Now I'm hungry. lol.
