Ingredients

For the Rolls:

• 1 ¼ cups warm water
• 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (one packet)
• 15.25 ounces red velvet cake mix
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup butter, softened

For the Frosting:

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup butter, softened
• 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
• Red heart sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

Preparing the Dough:

1. Proof the Yeast: Start by greasing a 9×13 baking dish and setting it aside. In a large bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy. This step is crucial as it activates the yeast, ensuring your rolls rise perfectly.

2. Mix the Dough: Once your yeast is ready, use a stand mixer to combine the red velvet cake mix and all-purpose flour with the proofed yeast. Mix for 2 minutes until the ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Let it Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place it in a warm area. Allow the dough to rise for about 2 hours or until it doubles in size. This is when the magic happens, and the dough becomes light and airy.

Assembling the Rolls:

4. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a 16×12 inch rectangle.

5. Add the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread the softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

6. Roll and Slice: Starting with the long side, carefully roll up the dough. Slice the roll in half, then continue slicing each portion until you have 12 equal pieces.

7. Second Rise: Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish. Cover them and let them rise for another hour.

Baking:

8. Bake the Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, bake the cinnamon rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Making the Frosting:

9. Mix the Frosting: While the rolls cool, prepare the frosting by whisking the softened cream cheese and butter together in a medium bowl. Gradually mix in the confectioner’s sugar until the frosting is thick and creamy.

10. Frost the Rolls: Spread the frosting generously over the warm cinnamon rolls. For an extra pop of color and fun, add red heart sprinkles on top.
