# Ingredients:
→ Dough
01 -
1 ¼ cups warm water
02 -
2 teaspoons instant yeast
03 -
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
04 -
1 box red velvet cake mix
→ Filling
05 -
⅓ cup melted butter
06 -
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
07 -
1 cup packed brown sugar
→ Cream Cheese Icing
08 -
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
09 -
¼ cup cream cheese, at room temperature
10 -
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
11 -
⅛ teaspoon salt
12 -
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix together yeast, cake mix, and 1 cup of flour. Pour in the water and beat for 2 minutes using medium speed on your mixer. Switch to the dough hook and slowly add the rest of the flour until the dough feels soft and a bit sticky. Transfer it into a bowl with grease, turning it to coat. Cover and let it sit somewhere warm for about 90 minutes or until it doubles in size.
02 -
Stir cinnamon and brown sugar in a bowl until combined.
03 -
Spray or butter a 9x13-inch baking dish to coat it evenly.
04 -
Sprinkle flour lightly on your work surface and roll the dough into a rectangle around 12 inches wide, 16 inches tall, and ¼ inch thick. Spread the melted butter all over, then evenly scatter the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
05 -
Carefully roll the dough along the long side until it turns into a log. Slice into 1 ½ inch thick pieces, then arrange them in your prepared dish. Cover the dish and allow it to become puffy, about 30 minutes.
06 -
Set your oven to 350℉. Pop the rolls in and bake until they turn golden on top, around 20 minutes.
07 -
While you're baking the rolls, throw all the icing ingredients into a bowl and whip them up with an electric mixer until they're smooth and fluffy.
08 -
Once the rolls are out of the oven, slather them with the icing while they're still warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Icing made with cream cheese can stay out up to 8 hours, but keep it in the fridge after that, max of 3 days.
02 -
Store rolls on the counter for 2 days, or put them in the fridge in a sealed container for up to a week.
03 -
Heat individual rolls in the microwave for 15 seconds to bring back the freshness.
