Jan's Coffee Cake

Jan Freebersyser was a dear family friend who, with her husband, introduced Gus and Paula. This recipe is always a crowd pleaser.

1/2 cup butter + 2 Tablespoons
3/4 cup sugar + 1/2 cup
one egg
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cream 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar. Add beaten egg. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together. Mix buttermilk with baking soda. Add to creamed mixture alternating with flour mixture. Place batter in two greased cake pans. Mix remaining sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over top of cakes.

Bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Melt remaining butter and pour over top of cakes when they are finished baking. Serve warm.
