Ingredients

For the dough

1 box red velvet cake mix
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon instant yeast
1 ¼ cups warm water

For the filling

1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
⅓ cup butter, melted

For the icing

6 tablespoon butter, unsalted and softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
¼ cup cream cheese, at room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Steps

Combine 1 box cake mix, 1 cup of the flour and 2 teaspoon yeast. Add 1 ¼ cups; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Change to dough hook attachment and stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a 1 ¼ cups warm place until doubled, about 1½ hours.
1.5 hours
Combine 1 cup and 1 tablespoon in a bowl.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or ⅓ cup butter.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approximately 16 inches long by 12 inches wide. It should be approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
Spread ⅓ cup of butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the 1 cup sugar evenly over the surface of the dough.
Working carefully, from the long edge, roll the dough down to the bottom edge.
Cut the dough into 1 ½ inch slices, and place in a lightly greased baking pan. You can also use floss to cut into slices, as seen in the video. Place the cut rolls in the prepared pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
30 min
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden 1 cup brown. Cooking time can vary greatly!

When the rolls are done, spread generously with icing.
