Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients:
– 1 box of yellow cake mix
– 1 package of active dry yeast
– 1 1/4 cups warm water
– 1/4 cup butter, softened
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2-3 tablespoons milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and active dry yeast. Gradually add the warm water and mix until a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
2. Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the brown sugar and ground cinnamon over the butter.
5. Starting from one long edge, carefully roll up the dough into a tight log. Slice the log into equal-sized pieces, about 1 1/2 inches thick.
6. Place the cinnamon roll slices into the greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Cover the dish with a clean towel and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes.
7. Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
8. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
9. Once the cinnamon rolls are done, drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately for the best gooey goodness!
