Preparation
Place eggs, milk, sugar, and oil in a blender and blend for 2 minutes
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder
Pour the blended mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined
Pour the batter into a greased medium cake pan
Bake in a preheated oven at 180Β°C (350Β°F) for 40 minutes
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack
For the frosting: in a saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a soft fudge-like consistency
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute
Pour the frosting over the cooled cake
Sprinkle with sprinkles to taste

Notes
Alternative Glaze: Instead of the condensed milk frosting, combine whole milk, chopped chocolate, sugar, butter, and flour or cornstarch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a creamy glaze forms
