To prepare the cake: 

Prepare a mixing bowl, put milk and red vinegar in it, mix the ingredients well and set the mixture aside.

In another bowl, sift the salt, baking powder, and flour, and set the ingredients aside.

Using a small bowl, mix cocoa and red food coloring until you have a paste-like mixture.

Using an electric mixer, mix butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes.

Start adding eggs one at a time, whisking between each addition.

Add vanilla extract, cocoa paste and food coloring and mix.

Add one third of the dry ingredients/flour, baking powder and salt and mix.

Pour in half of the milk and a third of the dry ingredients and mix.

Pour the remaining amount of milk and dry ingredients and mix.

Mix white vinegar with baking soda and add the mixture to the cake mixture and mix.

Put the mixture in a cake tin lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes.

To prepare the cream: Put the cream cheese, butter and vanilla in the electric mixer, and beat the ingredients on a slow speed first, then increase the speed and beat for 2 minutes.

Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture is homogeneous.

When the cake is ripe, cut it in half, put the first layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of cream, then place the second layer of cake on top of the cream layer, and spread a layer of cream on the second layer of cake.

Put the cake in the fridge for about two hours
