Best Ever!

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
• ⅓ cup milk

Cooking Directions

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.
