Step 1
Add flour, sugar, egg, vanilla, and butter to a microwave-safe mug.
Step 2
Stir until smooth — no lumps. The batter should look like thick pancake batter.
Step 3
Microwave on high for 90 seconds. The cake will rise and pull away from the sides.
Step 4
Let cool 1 minute. Run a knife around the edge and slide onto a plate.
Step 5
Frost the top while still warm. Scatter sprinkles over the frosting.
