Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl cream the cheese, 1 tbsp. of the butter and the sugar. Do not beat. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the cinnamon, lemon rind, flour, and salt; blend well. Butter the pan with the remaining 2 tbsp. of butter, using your fingers to spread the butter completely. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes at 400°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes. The knife should come out clean.
Cool the cake to room temperature, then sprinkle with confectioners' sugar if desired or add a fruit topping.
