Birthday cake recipe suggestions?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a really nice birthday cake that I can make at home? Chocolate isn't a prerequisite (although it's always nice). Any good recipes would be welcome. 1 to 2 hours baking time would be ideal. Thanks.Birthday cake recipe suggestions?
