Don't taste or eat raw (unbaked) dough or batter. Don't let children handle raw dough, including play clay and dough for crafts. Uncooked flour and raw eggs can contain germs that can make you sick if you taste raw dough. Wash your hands, bowls, utensils, and countertops after handling raw flour, eggs, or dough.

Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a mug and stir together. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth, being sure to scrape the bottom of the mug. Stir in sprinkles. Cook in microwave for 70-90 seconds* (until cake is just set, but still barely shiny on top).
