Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls Recipe image

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 box of white or yellow cake mix
2 packages of active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups of warm water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups flour
Filling:
2 cups brown sugar
Cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
Frosting:
1 can cream cheese frosting

Steps:

  • Mix yeast and warm water until dissolved. Combine cake mix, salt and flour in a large bowl.
  • Add warm water/yeast mixture and vanilla to cake mix, salt and flour mixture. Mix well.
  • This may require kneading with your hands a bit to completely combine ingredients. Cover tightly. Let rise for one hour. Punch down and let rise again for another 30-60 minutes.On a floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle shape, approx 1/4? thick.
  • Once dough is rolled out, brush with softened butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon ? use as little or as much as you like.
  • Starting at end opposite from you, roll the dough towards you until all dough is rolled into one long piece.
  • Slice dough into 24 equal sized pieces.
  • Place rolls in two greased 9×13 pans.
  • Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
  • I usually sit my rolls on my stove top while my oven preheats to 350 degrees.
  • This allows them time to rise and provides a bit of warmth from the oven warming.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown. This will depend on your stove and your preference for how brown you like your cinnamon rolls.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  • If you prefer your frosting to melt into your rolls, frost after rolls have cooled for 10-15 minutes.
  • If you prefer your frosting to stay on top of your rolls, wait until rolls have cooled until frosting.
