Notes
For the Cake:

- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
For the Cinnamon Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Drizzle the cinnamon filling evenly over the batter, then use a knife or toothpick to swirl it into the cake batter, creating a marbled effect.
For the Cream Cheese Icing:
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cake has cooled for a few minutes, drizzle the cream cheese icing over the top.
To Serve:
- Slice the cake into squares and serve warm, or allow it to cool completely for a more solid texture.
