Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a large measuring cup, combine the eggs, whole milk, buttermilk, vanilla extract, vinegar, and red food coloring; whisk until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; some lumps are okay.
Stir in the melted butter until incorporated.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over low heat and pour about ⅓ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until edges curl and bubbles form on top (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
For the cream cheese frosting: Blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and whole milk using a hand mixer until smooth.
Serve pancakes warm topped with frosting or your favorite toppings.
