3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and vanilla extract, and mixing well after each addition.
6. In a separate small mixing bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon swirl.
7. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish.
8. Spread the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the cake batter.
9. Pour the remaining cake batter on top of the cinnamon swirl mixture.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
11. While the cake is baking, make the cream cheese frosting. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
12. Once the cake is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before spreading the cream cheese frosting over the top.
13. Serve and enjoy your Cinnamon Bun Cake!
