Preheat oven to 160°C with oven rack in center of oven.
Prepare your Bundt pan by using a pastry brush and melted butter, ensuring that you reach inside every crevice of the pan, then dust with flour. Alternately, use a baking spray that contains flour and brush excess with a pastry brush to evenly coat the pan.
In a small bowl, stir together milk and vinegar; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar on low speed until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then banana and vanilla, then beat on a medium speed for 2 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. With mixer on low speed, gradually beat dry ingredients and milk mixture alternately into batter. Beat for 1 minute then stir in chopped pecans. Pour half of the batter into prepared pan.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Use a teaspoon to spoon evenly around center of batter, being careful to not let filling touch the sides of pan.
Spoon remaining batter over filling, covering completely.

Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes before inverting pan to remove cake and allow to cool completely.
In a small bowl, beat melted butter, banana, salt and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar.
