German Coffee Cake

A recipe for coffee cake, which comes direct from the Fatherland, calls for a pound of risen dough (enough for a small loaf), into which is worked 2 tablespoonfuls of soft butter, 1/2 cupful of sugar, I beaten egg and 14 of a nutmeg, grated. Knead this, roll out in a sheet and fit into a shallow pan; cover and keep warm until well risen. Beat 2 eggs and add enough powdered sugar to make like very thick cream. With a sharp knife make slanting cuts all over the light dough, and put in these some of the egg mixture. Dust thickly with cinnamon and bake in a quick oven.
