Ingredients
  

Rolls
  • 300 ml warm water
  • 2.25 tsp instant yeast one packet
  • 432 g red velvet cake mix
  • 312.5 g all-purpose flour
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 56 g butter softened
Frosting
  • 113 g cream cheese softened
  • 56 g butter softened
  • 240 g confectioner’s sugar
  • Red heart sprinkles optional

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • 9x13 baking dish

Method
 

  1. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
  2. Combine the warm water and yeast in a large bowl, allowing it to proof for 5 minutes. It should be foamy.
  3. Once the yeast has been proofed, use a stand mixer to add the cake mix and the flour – mixing for 2 minutes.
  4. Cover and set the bowl in a warm area to rise for about 2 hours. It should double in size.
  5. Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a lightly floured surface – rolling it into a 16x12 rectangle.
  6. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Spread the softened butter all over the dough. Top with the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
  8. Roll up the dough, starting with the long side.
  9. Slice in half, then continue slicing each portion of the dough in half until you have created 12 equal portions.
  10. Place the rolls in the prepared dish. Cover and set aside for 1 hour to rise.
  11. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  12. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  13. Allow the rolls to cool while you make the frosting.
  14. Whisk the softened cream cheese and butter together in a medium bowl.
  15. Mix in the confectioner's sugar until thick and creamy.
  16. Spread the frosting over the baked cinnamon rolls and add the sprinkles.

Notes

For an added twist, consider incorporating a dash of nutmeg into the cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra warmth.
