A delightful twist on classic cinnamon rolls featuring birthday cake flavors, complete with cream cheese frosting and colorful sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup cake mix (vanilla flavor)
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Colorful sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, stir together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
- Bring it all together: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently to form a sticky dough.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Spread the cake mix evenly over the rolled-out dough and sprinkle generously with sprinkles.
- Create the rolls: Starting at one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape and pinch the seam to seal.
- Slice the rolls into 12 equal pieces and place them cut side up in a greased baking dish.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Make the frosting: In a bowl, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dress the rolls while they cool slightly, then top with colorful sprinkles.
Notes
Prepare the rolls the night before for a delicious morning treat, and store in an airtight container for up to three days.
