When you’re looking to turn a classic recipe into something so irresistibly delicious, there’s only one thing to do … add a kick of cake mix. Dry cake mix lends a delicious cake batter flavor to the dough, filling, and icing of these totally incredible (and totally easy!) cinnamon rolls. Whether you’re serving them up for a big day or just adding a bit of oomph to your weekend breakfast table, these Birthday Cake Cinnamon Rolls are totally fab!
Birthday Cake Cinnamon Rolls
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cup very warm water
- 1 packet of yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup yellow cake mix (I prefer Betty Crocker.)
- 2 cups flour
For the filling:
- 3/4 cup butter melted
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup yellow cake mix
For the icing:
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cake mix
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 3-5 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
DIRECTIONS:
Pour the water into a very large bowl. Whisk in the yeast. Then the sugar. Allow the mixture to rest for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the salt, olive oil, and 2 1/4 cups of the flour. Sprinkle just enough flour over the dough until it becomes pliable enough to knead. Knead the dough until it becomes soft and elastic. Cover with a clean cloth and set aside, allowing the dough to rise for 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it’s about 1/2″ thick. Drizzle butter across the dough, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and cake mix. Roll tightly into a roll, then slice into 2″ pieces with a sharp knife. Place rolls on a lightly greased baking sheet and allow them to rise for 15 minutes more before putting them in the oven and baking for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
In a stand mixer, beat together all icing ingredients until a spreadable frosting is formed. Drizzle over hot rolls. Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles. Serve and enjoy!
