• mix flour and baking powder together in a bowl. stir flour mixture into creamed butter mixture, alternating with cooled coffee until just mixed; mix in sprinkles. fold egg whites into batter. pour batter into the prepared pan.
• bake in the preheated oven until edges of cake pull away from sides and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. cool cake in pan for 1/2 hour before turning a serving plate.
• beat 2 cups confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and cocoa powder together in a bowl until smooth; beat in hot coffee and vanilla extract until frosting is creamy. spread frosting cooled cake.
