1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup hot water

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rectangular tray pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and sugars.
Add oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Stir in hot water until the batter is glossy and pourable.
Pour into prepared pan and bake 25–30 minutes, until just set in the center.
Remove from oven and immediately press Mini Eggs gently into the hot cake.
