Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Cake Flour, Baking Soda, Cocoa Powder, and Salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the Butter and Granulated Sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the Eggs one at a time, then stir in the Vanilla Extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the Buttermilk, Red Food Coloring, and Vinegar.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

To make the Frosting, beat together the Cream Cheese and Butter until smooth.
