By Lorena_321

Ingredients

• Frosting:
• 5 to 6 cups flour
• 1 pkg. yellow cake mix
• 2 pkgs. quick-rise yeast
• 2 1/2 cups warm water
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 t. ground cinnamon
• 6 T. butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 t. vanilla extract
• 2 to 3 T. milk

Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups flour, dry cake mix, yeast and warm water until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 14x10" rectangle. Brush with butter; sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Cut each roll into 12 slices; place cut side down in two greased 13x9x2" baking pans. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 20 minutes.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 20 minutes. For frosting, in a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Add enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Frost warm rolls.
