Preparation 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter and sprinkle flour all over it, shaking the pan well to get a thin, even coating. Bang the pan once to dislodge excess flour and discard flour. 2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter with the sugar. When the butter and sugar are well creamed and very soft and smooth, add the egg, rum, lemon zest, vanilla and the baking powder. Mix well. Add the walnuts, a little at a time, and continue to mix. When all the walnuts are in, add the flour, a little at a time, from a sifter or sieve. This will keep the batter from lumping. The batter will be dense. 3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to make the top level. Place the coffee cake in the top part of the oven. 4. Bake the coffee cake for 1 hour, or until it is firm to the touch. Remove from oven and carefully turn it out of the pan to cool on a wire rack. Just before serving, sprinkle confectioner’s sugar all over the top.
