RED VELVET CAKE MIX CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Whisk the water and yeast in a large bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to dissolve; the mixture will bubble slightly. Add the cake mix and flour and stir vigorously for 1 minute until the dough comes together and no dry flour remains; don't be tempted to overwork or knead the dough or it will get very sticky and hard to work with. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in volume, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until no lumps of sugar remain. Work in 12 tablespoons of the butter and stir until completely combined. Set aside until ready to assemble.
• Beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, cream, vanilla, the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Gently deflate the dough by lifting it up around the edges and letting it fall back into the bowl, turning the bowl and repeating if needed. Transfer to a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour. Roll into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle, pushing the edges towards the center to make the sides straight. Spread the butter-brown sugar mixture over the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges. Starting on one of the shorter sides, tightly roll into a log, pressing the sides occasionally to keep them flush.
• Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with butter. Cut the dough log crosswise into 12 equal pieces and arrange them cut-side up in the pan, gently shaping the rolls to make them fit in the pan. Let rise, covered, in a warm, draft-free area until almost completely covering the pan, about 30 minutes.
• Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until the rolls are puffed and brick red and the filling is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool until set, about 30 minutes.
• Spread the frosting over the warm rolls and serve.

• In large bowl, mix cake mix, 1 cup of the flour and the yeast. Add water; stir with wooden spoon until dough forms. Add remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time, stirring between each addition, until soft dough forms. (You may not need all of the flour.)
• Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Gently punch down dough, then reshape into a ball. Let rest a few minutes. Meanwhile, have melted butter ready. In small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
• On surface sprinkled lightly with flour, roll dough into large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Starting at one long end, tightly roll up into a log. Slice into 12 rolls.
• Grease or spray 13x9-inch pan or two 9-inch round cake pans. Place rolls in pan(s); cover with plastic wrap. Let rise 30 minutes while you heat oven to 375°F.

RED VELVET CAKE MIX CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Combine two packages of active dry yeast with warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir until dissolved. Add cake mix, flour, vanilla and salt. Use dough hook attachment to knead dough together, just for a minute or two. Move to larger bowl, cover, and let rise for about an hour. Punch dough down after an hour, and let rise again for another hour. Use plenty of flour on a clean surface and turn dough out. Shape into a ball, then roll into a rectangle shape, mine measured about 28×17. Spread softened butter over dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar, white granulated sugar and cinnamon. Start from farthest edge and roll dough tightly into a long skinny log shape. Slice into 24 rolls. Place rolls in two 9×13" pans that have been greased with butter, or sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Let rise a final time in pan for about 30 minutes. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes. While the rolls are baking, prepare cream cheese frosting. With paddle attachment on the stand mixer, combine room temperature butter with powdered sugar. Beat until well combined, then add vanilla and pinch of salt. Mix again, then while mixer is going, drop cubes of softened cream cheese in the bowl one at a time until frosting is well mixed. Frost while the rolls are still warm.
