Cake mix cinnamon rolls

1 1/4 cups warm water (105°F to 115°F)
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) regular active dry yeast
1 box yellow cake mix
2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 bar cream cheese
  • Grease 13×9-inch pan or 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with shortening or cooking spray.
  • In small bowl, mix warm water and yeast; let stand 5 minutes.
  • In large bowl, mix cake mix and 2 cups of the flour. Add water-yeast mixture; stir with wooden spoon until dough forms. Add remaining flour 1/4 cup at a time, stirring between each addition, until it comes together in a ball. You may not need all of the flour. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Gently punch down dough, and then reshape into ball. Let rest a few minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in small bowl, and set aside to cool. In another small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • On lightly floured surface, roll dough into large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Starting with 1 long end, tightly roll up dough into a log. Cut into 12 rolls.
  • Place rolls in pan(s); cover with plastic wrap. Let rise about 30 minutes while you heat oven to 375°F.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; spread with frosting. Serve warm or at room temperature.
