In another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until well combined. Gradually add the flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating between the two, and mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the batter over the cream cheese layer and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
