Ingredients
- ½ oz Active Dry Yeast (2 packets)
- 2 ½ c Warm Water
- 15.25 oz Red Velvet Cake Mix
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 5-6 c All-purpose Flour plus sprinkling

- 2-4 tbsp Cinnamon
For drizzle:
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (soft)

- 1 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- In your mixing bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Let it stand about 5 minutes, then mix a minute or two.
- Add in the cake mix, salt and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Slowly add in the flour until it's a nice dough texture that's hardly sticky.
- Put the dough ball onto a clean surface (cutting board works perfect) sprinkled with flour.
- Cover with plastic wrap (spray with cooking spray first to prevent sticking) and let rise an hour.
- Punch it down, then let rise another hour.
- Roll out your dough until it's about ½" thick, then spread the melted butter over top.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly, then cut into strips about 1" thick.
- Roll each up, then place into a sprayed baking dish.
- Either bake right away, or cover and store overnight in the fridge.
- TO BAKE: Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F.
- Uncover and bake for 15-25 minutes, or until insides of rolls are flaky and edges are starting to brown.
- Mix the drizzle ingredients and spread over your rolls. ENJOY!
