Ingredients
  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

  • 2 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F)

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour, divided

  • 3 eggs

  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • 4 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • ⅔ cup milk

Instructions
    1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water, and let stand for 3 minutes. Add cake mix, 1 cup flour, eggs, oil, and salt; beat well. Stir in remaining flour until a soft dough forms.

    2. Knead on well floured surface for about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the dough surface. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.

    3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    4. Punch down, and divide into two equal parts. Roll out each section on a lightly floured surface. Spread each with softened butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

    5. Roll up like jelly rolls and cut buns 1 1/2 inches thick with a piece of dental floss or a dull knife. Place in greased baking pans, and allow to rise until doubled.

    6. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.

    7. Meanwhile, combine confectioners sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, vanilla, and milk. Remove baked buns from oven and drizzle with frosting.
