Steps

Prep: 40 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling

1

Preheat oven to 350
In a small bowl, combine cocoa and water; set aside to cool completely. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes
2

LAYER THE CAKE TIN WITH PARCHMENT PAPER, POUR THE BATTER INTO THE CAKE TIN.. I used 9-in. round baking pans and two small ramekins. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3

For ganache, place chocolate in a bowl. In a small heavy saucepan over low heat, bring cream and sugar to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk gently until smooth. Allow to cool until it reaches a spreadable consistency, stirring occasionally.
4

Cakes baked and cooled. Transfer the cakes to serving plates. Pour ganache over the top on cakes.
5

Sprinkle the sprinkles on the top. Slice and serve
