Center a link vertically along with the headline next to it

I have the following HTML header. It's a simple title bar with a back href. However the headline <h1> is placed UNDER the href. I don't want that. What I want is a simple title bar with a centered headline and a button which is on the same height like the headline. 

html,
body {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    background-color: #EEEEEE;
    font-family: 'RobotoDraft', 'sans-serif';
}

header {
    background: #FFFFFF;
    height: 60px;
    width: 100%;
    box-shadow: 0px 2px 1px #888888;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
}

h1 {
    color: black;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 15px 0;
    margin: 0;
    font-size: 30px;
}
<header>
    <a href="#">Back</a>
    <h1>Photo Framed</h1>
</header>

How can i achieve that?

This is what it looks like now:

enter image description here

Since I'm very new to the world of HTML and CSS, I have no clue how to not let the title get pushed down by the back href. Later I want to replace the href by an image. It should be the same with the image. I have a padding of 15px for the title. I also want 15px padding for the back href and want it to be on the same height like the title.

You could set a line-height and make the value the same as the h1's height.

a {
    float: left;
    line-height: 60px;
}

Or use absolute position instead of float, and combine with the line-height.

a {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    line-height: 60px;
}

You also could work with a display:inline-block; i guess.
