Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (refer to your waffle iron's capacity to avoid overfilling). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are crisp and cooked through, usually 3–5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
While the waffles are cooking, prepare the cream cheese topping by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream in a bowl until smooth and fluffy.
Serve the red velvet waffles warm with the cream cheese topping spooned over the top, and garnish with extra powdered sugar or a sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired.
