Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups warm water (110F)
• 1 package (2 1/4 ounces) active dry yeast
• 1 box (15.25 ounces) red velvet cake mix
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting (see Cook's Note)
• 1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• Kosher salt
• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces, at room temperature, plus more for greasing pan
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly. Add the cake mix and flour; stir vigorously for about one minute until the dough comes together with no dry flour. Avoid overmixing. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 to 1 hour 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until lump-free. Stir in 12 tablespoons butter until smooth. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, remaining 4 tablespoons butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reserve for serving.
4. Gently deflate dough, transfer to a floured surface, and roll into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle with straight edges. Spread butter-sugar mixture evenly, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
5. Roll tightly from a short side into a log, pressing edges to seal.
6. Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Slice log into 12 equal rolls; place cut-side up snugly in pan. Cover and rise until nearly filling pan, about 30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 350F with rack in center.
8. Bake until puffed, deep brick red, and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 30 minutes until set.
9. Spread frosting over warm rolls and servethese gooey, vibrant swirls are pure bliss!

Cook's Tip: Spoon flour into measuring cup and level offdon't scoop, or rolls may turn dense.
