Grease and flour a 9" deep dish pie pan or a 9" round cake pan. Set aside.
to make the cake:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, vanilla and oil.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Whisk vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Set aside.
to make the filling:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, flour and vanilla. Using a small spoon, drizzle the filling over the batter in a circular motion (simply create circles), starting from the outside. You should have about half of the filling mixture left.
Bake the cake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wooden cutting board. Drizzle the remaining filling over the filling crevices that were created during baking.
Let the cake cool, while you make the glaze.
to make the glaze/frosting:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk cream cheese, milk and vanilla. Add sifted powdered sugar until the frosting reaches a thick yet drizzling consistency.
Using the back of the spoon or an offset spatula, spread the glaze over the warm cake in a circular motion.
