Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and active dry yeast. Gradually add the warm water and mix until a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
-
Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the brown sugar and ground cinnamon over the butter.
-
Starting from one long edge, carefully roll up the dough into a tight log. Slice the log into equal-sized pieces, about 1 1/2 inches thick.
-
Place the cinnamon roll slices into the greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart. Cover the dish with a clean towel and let the rolls rise for an additional 30 minutes.
-
Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
-
Once the cinnamon rolls are done, drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and serve immediately for the best gooey goodness!
