Aunt Louise's Coffeecake

Tonight was one of those nights for a lighter dinner.  We had breakfast for dinner...a nice farmer's breakfast with spinach, potatoes, peppers, eggs and feta cheese.  Yummy.  Just to have a little something special with it, I made up this recipe.  It is one of my sweetheart's favorites.

Cake:
1/4 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1/2 c. milk
1 t. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
Combine first 5 ingredients with a mixer.  Add remaining ingredients.  Spread 1/2 of the batter in a greased 8x 8 pan.  Reserve the remaining batter.

Filling:
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 T. melted butter
2 t. cinnamon
2 T. flour
Mix well.  Take 1/2 of the filling mixture and sprinkle over the batter in the pan.  Cover with the remaining reserved batter.  Sprinkle with the remaining filling.
Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.  Serve with a dab of butter on top.
