I've done that; tastes rather good. Even cocoa powder by itself should
be good--the sweetness of the cake should more than offset it. You could
also make a simple frosting out of the 10x sugar and some water, with or
without cocoa. If you make it liquid enough, you can drizzle it over the
cake in interesting patterns.

I don't suppose you want something like a buttercream? Pretty easy, but
of course a lot more work than just sifting sugar over the cake. The
Cake Bible has a very nice Milk Chocolate Buttercream recipe.
