Cake Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Slowly stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
Frosting and Assembly
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with milk, until desired consistency is reached.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate and spread frosting on top.
- Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Use the green fondant to create the tractor body, black for the wheels, and red for the details.
- Decorate the cake with fondant pieces to resemble a tractor.
