Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon red food coloring
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Whisk until well blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
7. Once the pancakes are cooked, stack them on a plate and drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top. Alternatively, you can serve the glaze on the side.
8. Garnish with fresh berries, if desired, and serve hot.
