Directions
1Preheat oven to 375°F and generously butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add lemon zest and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
2In a separate bowl, sift flour with baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with sour cream and vanilla until just combined. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.
3Make the topping: Cook bacon according to directions, but remove from heat half-way through cooking. (It will still cook atop the cake.) Chop cooked bacon.
4Combine bacon, sugar, cinnamon, flour and chopped nuts in a small bowl and mix well.
5Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cake and bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool, cut into pieces and serve.
