3 large eggs
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup whipped topping
Green food coloring
Assorted candy decorations (e.g., jellybeans, chocolate bunnies)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan.

Poke holes all over the top of the cake using a fork.
In a bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and half of the whipped topping, pour the mixture over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
Let the cake cool completely, then frost with the remaining whipped topping.
