For the pancakes:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 cup buttermilk

- 2 teaspoons red food coloring

For the cream cheese frosting:
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
For the pancakes:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium sized bowl.
- Combine the eggs, milk, buttermilk, vanilla, vinegar, and red food color in a large measuring cup. Whisk to combine.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined.
- Stir in the melted butter.
- Spoon 1/3 cup of the batter onto a slightly heated pan. Cook on low heat until the edges curl up and bubbles appear on the top of the pancake. Flip and continue to cook 1-2 minutes or until your pancake is cooked through.
For the frosting:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk using a hand mixer until fully incorporated.
- Serve pancakes with butter and syrup or frosting.
Notes
*We actually prefer this recipe with just butter and syrup. However, the frosting is a fun traditional red velvet topping and nice for a treat.
