Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

A tangy buttermilk cake with just two tablespoons of cocoa in it — barely chocolate, very soft, and finished with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting that cuts the sweetness. The red comes from food colouring, not from anything in the batter; that is simply what this cake is.
