The existence of a second Higgs doublet in nature could lead to a cosmological first-order electroweak phase transition and explain the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. We obtain the spectrum and properties of the new scalars H-0, A(0), and H-+/- that signal such a phase transition and show that the observation of the decay A(0) -> ZH(0) at LHC would be a smoking gun signature of these scenarios. We analyze the LHC search prospects for this decay in the llb (b) over bar and llW(+)W(-) final states, arguing that current data may be sensitive to this signature in the former channel as well as there being great potential for a discovery in either channel at the very early stages of the 14 TeV run.
