Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. 5. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder. 6. Add dry ingredients to the batter, alternating with the milk and vanilla. Mix until fully combined. 7. Gently fold in the Cadbury eggs (half whole, half chopped). 8. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. 9. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until set. 10. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. ⸻ 🍫 Fudgy Frosting (with Carnation Evaporated Milk)    •   1 stick butter    •   ¼ cup cocoa    •   2 cups sugar    •   ½ cup Carnation evaporated milk    •   ¼ tsp salt    •   2 tsp vanilla ⸻ 🥄 Frosting Instructions 1.

Pour warm frosting over cooled cake. ⸻ ✨ Finishing Touch While the frosting is still warm, sprinkle the top with extra chopped Cadbury mini eggs for that perfect Easter crunch and color. ⸻ 💗 Lori’s Note If you love a thick, rich frosting (like we do), go ahead and double it… no one will complain 🤭 LTKSeasonal LTKHome LTKfoodie
