1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup buttermilk
3 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon red food coloring

Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 cups powdered sugar
