Be careful not to overmix, or your batter will become tough and rubbery.
STEP FIVE: Spread the cake batter in an even layer in the baking dish.
STEP SIX: In a small mixing bowl, add the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, allspice, vanilla extract, and milk.
Use a spoon to stir until no lumps remain.
