Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls image

My grandmother gave me this recipe and I was intrigued by the fact that a box of cake mix was part of the ingredients of this recipe. They turned out fabulous! This was so easy to make and the dough turned out tender with a deep rich taste (I was shocked because there are no eggs or oil in this recipe). I wanted to have these for breakfast, so I prepared them the night before and let them sit in the refrigerator over night on the last rise. In the morning I set the pans out for about an hour so they could come to room temperature and then baked them according to directions and they turned out perfectly.

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 dozen, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 -6 cups flour
1 (18 ounce) package yellow cake mix
2 (1/4 ounce) packages fast rise yeast
2 1/2 cups warm water (120 to 130)
1/4 cup melted butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 -3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, dry cake mix, yeast and warm water until smooth.
  • Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes (I did this step with my Kitchen Aid Mixer).
  • Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
  • Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Punch dough down.
  • Divide dough in half and let rest covered 10 minutes.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Roll each portion into a 14 X 10 rectangle.
  • Brush with butter; sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (I prefer brown sugar myself, so I used about 3/4 cup brown sugar with a teaspoon and half of cinnamon).
  • Roll up jellyroll style, starting with long side.
  • Cut each roll into 12 slices; place cut side down in two greased 13 X 9 baking pans (At this point I just kind of flatten them a bit with my hand so the middles don't raise up).
  • Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 20 minutes (this is where I put them in the frig over night).
  • Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool for 20 minutes.
  • *For frosting, in a mixing bowl, cream butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.
  • Add enough milk to achieve desired consistency.
  • *I prefer a cream cheese frosting on cinnamon rolls so I changed that as well, but this works out just great.

These cinnamon rolls are a great way to use up leftover cake mix. I had a box of vanilla cake mix in my pantry and decided to try making these. They turned out great! The vanilla flavor was a nice twist on the classic cinnamon roll.
