Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk and food coloring together.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and enough heavy cream (or milk) to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the cream cheese frosting using a piping bag or a spatula.
Optionally, garnish with sprinkles or fresh berries for an extra touch.
