Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, blend the cake mix, 1 cup flour, and yeast. Pour in the warm water and give it a good beating on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Gradually mix in the remaining flour until you’ve got a soft dough (it’s gonna be a bit sticky, but that’s alright!).
  • Lightly flour your countertop, and gently knead the dough 6-8 times. Place it in a greased bowl, making sure to grease the top as well. Now, let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size (about 2 hours). While you wait, grab another bowl and combine that brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Time to punch down the dough! Turn it out onto your floured surface and roll it into an 18×10-inch rectangle. Brush on that delicious melted butter, leaving about 1/4-inch around the edges, then sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mix all over.
  • Roll up the dough like a jelly roll, starting with the long side, and pinch the seam to seal it. Slice it into 12 even pieces and place them cut-side-up in a greased 13×9-inch baking pan. Cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise in that warm spot until almost doubled (roughly 1 hour).
  • Preheat your oven to 350°. Bake the rolls until they’re puffed up and light brown (about 15-20 minutes). Let them cool just a bit.
  • In the meantime, whip up the icing by beating together the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and enough milk to achieve a smooth, drizzly consistency. Drizzle that heavenly icing over your warm rolls and dig in!
