Description
Delightful cinnamon rolls infused with the rich flavors of birthday cake, topped with creamy frosting and colorful sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup birthday cake mix
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Creamy vanilla frosting
- Colorful sprinkles
Instructions
- Warm the milk until it’s just lukewarm. In a bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes, until it’s bubbly and frothy.
- Stir in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Blend until just combined, then gradually add the all-purpose flour. Knead the dough until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for an hour.
- Transfer the risen dough to a floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle, about ½ inch thick.
- Spread the softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle the brown sugar, birthday cake mix, and cinnamon evenly over the butter.
- Roll the dough into a log, pinch the seam to seal, and cut it into slices about 1.5 inches thick. Place slices in a greased baking dish and cover with a towel to rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, until golden and puffed.
- Cool slightly before drizzling with creamy vanilla frosting and sprinkling colorful sprinkles on top.
Notes
For best results, ensure your milk is at the right temperature when activating the yeast. You can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise in the fridge.
