2 large eggs
2 tbsp red food coloring
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan generously.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder.
In another bowl, mix sugar and vegetable oil until combined. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in buttermilk and red food coloring.
