Method

1
Whisk the room-temperature eggs and sugar with an electric mixer into a thick, pale foam.
2
Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave. Let it cool for a moment.
3
Combine the dry ingredients in another bowl.
4
Add the melted butter, milk, and sifted flour mixture alternately in a few batches to the egg-sugar foam, folding gently with a spatula.
5
Pour the batter onto a deep baking sheet (about 45 x 38 cm) lined with parchment paper.
6
Bake the sponge at 200 degrees (Celsius) for 15 minutes. Let it cool before frosting.
7
Prepare the frosting. Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave. Add the hot coffee to the butter. Combine the icing sugar and cocoa powder, and sift them into the butter-coffee mixture. Mix the frosting until smooth.
8
Pour the frosting over the sponge. Spread the frosting evenly over the sponge using a spoon or a spatula, for example. Scatter the sprinkles over the frosting immediately after spreading it.
