Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 6-inch cake rounds and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the boiling water and mix until well combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa, followed by the salt, vanilla, and milk. Beat until smooth.
To assemble the cake, level the cakes if needed. Spread a layer of frosting between each layer, then frost the outside of the cake.
Once your cake is frosted, it’s time to decorate. Use candies and sprinkles to create the caterpillar’s eyes, mouth, nose, and legs. Be as creative as you want!
