Cooking Tips:

- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
- Sift the flour and cocoa powder to avoid lumps.

4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and whisk until smooth.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
7. Place the peppermint patties on top of the batter, leaving a small gap between each one.
