Ingredients

2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/4 Cup Cocoa
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Butter - Softened
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Large Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla
3/4 Cup Buttermilk
1 Tbsp Red Food Coloring
8 Oz Cream Cheese
1/2 Cup Butter - Softened
2 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
Beat butter and brown sugar until light and creamy. Beat in egg, vanilla and red food coloring.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk, mixing just until combined.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool completely.
For the filling, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar and vanilla until thick and fluffy.
Pipe or spoon a generous layer of cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one cake and sandwich with another.
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
