Bake for 28-33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Invert cake on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, cream together butter, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add more milk one tablespoon at a time if needed to reach desired consistency. Spread on completely cooled cake, add sprinkles, and serve or cover tightly and store at room temperature up to 48 hours before serving.
