I wanted to bake the perfect cake for my son's 2nd birthday without putting him into insulin shock. He likes all the things that little boys do like worms, horses, dirt and especially tractors. So I can up with my own version of Dirt Cake for him. He LOVED it!!
Cake:
1 Betty Crocker SuperMoist Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
Pudding:
1 package Chocolate Jell-O Instant Pudding Mix (153g / 6 serving)
3 cups cold milk
Topping:
1/2 box Oreo Baking Crumbs (200g)
- Prepare pudding as per directions on box, set aside in fridge. If you like a firmer, creamier pudding use heavy or whipping cream instead of milk.
- Bake cake as per directions on box, in 9x13 pan.
- Once cake has cooled, cover with pudding and sprinkle Oreo crumbs on top.
- Optional: decorate with gummy worms.

That is definately a little boys cake! Matter of fact...if you throw in the little toy tractors...my husband would love it too!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. I want to make a litter box cake for my daughter's birthday, just to shake things up a bit. So far my husband has nixed it, but we'll see next year. :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute, I remember dirt cups when I was little...this brings back some good memories!
ReplyDeleteDirt cakes are awesome. I'm sure my boys would love it. Your's looks great!
ReplyDeleteSo very sweet! Love the tractor and would walk a mile barefoot for the cake.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of dirt cake for kids!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think any little boy would love a dirt cake! Although, I think any little girl would love one, too. This looks so yummy, I seriously can't resist anything made with Oreo crumbs.
ReplyDeleteI promised my son I would make a dirt cake for him...this looks perfect.
