Ingredients

• 1 box (15.25 oz) Yellow cake mix
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons (1 packet) Active dry yeast
• 2 cups Warm water
• 6 tablespoons (softened) Unsalted butter
• 1 cup (packed) Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, all-purpose flour, and active dry yeast.

Step 2

Add the warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle (approximately 16x10 inches).

Step 6

Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 8

Starting with the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 12 equal slices.

Step 10

Place the slices in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll. Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 12

Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 13

While the rolls are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 14

Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly before drizzling the glaze generously over the top.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy!
