Ingredients
Scale
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp red food coloring (adjust as needed)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk (more for a thinner consistency)

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

- In a small bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Gradually add milk until you reach your desired consistency; stir in vanilla extract.
