Red Velvet Cinnamon Roll Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Red Velvet Cinnamon Roll Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by pouring warm water into the bowl of your stand mixer and gently sprinkling in the yeast.

2. Step 2

   Give it a good stir and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly—this is the yeast blooming, and it’s a crucial step for fluffy rolls.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in the flour, red velvet cake mix, warm milk, and a pinch of salt to the yeast mixture.

4. Step 4

   Switch to the dough hook and mix on low speed until everything comes together and the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, which should take around 5 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Now, lightly grease a large bowl with a bit of oil.

6. Step 6

   Shape your dough into a ball and place it in the greased bowl, turning it to coat all sides.

7. Step 7

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel, then set it over a pan of hot water.

8. Step 8

   This cozy environment will help the dough rise until it’s nearly doubled in size, which should take about an hour.

9. Step 9

   While you wait, let’s whip up the delicious filling! In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon, mixing until everything is well blended and creamy.

10. Step 10

    Once your dough has risen, spray a large baking pan with baking spray to keep those rolls from sticking.

11. Step 11

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle.

12. Step 12

    Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, then roll it up tightly into a log.

13. Step 13

    Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and arrange them in the prepared baking pan.

14. Step 14

    Allow the rolls to rise again until they’ve doubled in size, which should take about 30 to 45 minutes.

15. Step 15

    While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

16. Step 16

    When the rolls are ready, pop them in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they’re beautifully golden brown and your kitchen smells heavenly.

17. Step 17

    While they bake, let’s prepare the icing! In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, milk, and vanilla.

18. Step 18

    Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and pourable.

19. Step 19

    For easy drizzling later, transfer the icing to a plastic zip-top bag.

20. Step 20

    Once your cinnamon rolls are out of the oven and have cooled slightly, snip a corner off the zip-top bag and drizzle the creamy icing generously over the warm rolls.

21. Step 21

    Serve them up immediately and watch as everyone enjoys this delightful treat!.
