Did I give you the impression in my last post that I was done with cake mix? Well, I may have overstated my position on that just slightly. I have had cinnamon rolls on my list for quite some time now, in particular, cinnamon rolls made with a funfetti cake mix. My hungry puppies love anything with sprinkles, so I thought that it would be so fun to make them cinnamon rolls with sprinkles! It was fun, and they loved it! The sprinkles melted just a bit, but the rolls still had swirls of color. These rolls are incredibly easy to put together, and are incredibly delicious.
Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon Rolls:
1 package Funfetti cake mix
4 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon salt
5 cups flour, divided
2 1/4 cups hot water
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Glaze:
2 Tablespoons funfetti cake mix
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
Combine the cake mix, yeast, salt, and 2 cups of flour in the bowl of a stand mixer (or mix by hand). With the mixer on low speed, add the hot water. Gradually add the remaining 3 cups of flour. The dough will be a little sticky. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Grease 2 9x13 inch baking dishes. Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface and roll out into a large rectangle (the dough should be about 1/2 inch thick). Spread the softened butter over the dough, all the way to the edges. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough. Roll up the dough and cut into 24 slices. Place 12 slices in each prepared baking dish. Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20 minutes.
For the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together the cake mix and powdered sugar. Whisk in the milk, one tablespoon at a time until the glaze is drizzle consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls. Makes 24 cinnamon rolls.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
