Preparation: 30 minutes

Cooking: 40 minutes

Total: 1 hour 10 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups chocolate frosting
Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
Small construction toy trucks

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Gradually stir in boiling water, using a spatula or wooden spoon. The batter will be thin but that’s okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
Once cooled, spread chocolate frosting over the top of the cake, creating a smooth surface.
Sprinkle crushed chocolate sandwich cookies around the perimeter of the cake, creating a dirt effect.
Place small construction toy trucks on top of the cake, as if they are digging in the dirt.
Serve and enjoy!
