Cake Batter Cinnamon Rolls- with yoyomax12

These cinnamon rolls are a quirky and delicious combination of "birthday cake" flavour and traditional cinnamon buns. Yummy!
Recipes using cake mixes playlist: • Recipes Using Cake Mixes
2 1/2 cups very warm water
1 box Rainbow Chip cake mix (dry mix only)
1 tsp vanilla
2 packages instant active dry yeast
5 cups bread flour (I subbed all purpose flour)
Filling:
1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup yellow cake mix (dry powder)
cinnamon (about 2 tbsp)
Sprinkles (about 1/4 cup)
Frosting:
1/4 cup butter softened
1/2 cup yellow cake mix (dry powder)
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
3-6 tbsp milk or cream
Sprinkles for decoration
Add yeast and water to a large bowl and stir, add in the rainbow chip cake mix and flour. Stir and knead with a dough hook attachment for about 3 minutes.
Remove dough and place in a clean greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1.5 hours). I put mine in my oven with just the light on.
Once doubled, turn out onto a heavily floured surface and pat out into a large rectangle (at least 9x13"). Spread butter over surface, sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, yellow cake mix and sprinkles.
Roll up from short or long end (this will change the size of the rolls) and cut into 1.5 to 2 inch slices and place flat side down in a greased baking dish. The recipe recommends 12 rolls per pan, with at least 2 inches of space between them.
Cover rolls with some greased plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Bake at 350F for 1-20 minutes until browned.
While cinnamon rolls are baking mix up the frosting ingredients (except sprinkles), adding only enough water to make a spreadable frosting (not too runny).
Spread frosting over warm rolls and sprinkle with additional sprinkles.
These freeze well.

[@laurenle3313]

Love your vids Emmy :)

[@noelymorales1491]

I love your vids!

[@lolijone2333]

Hi Emmy!!

[@xPopxTartsx]

What a time to be alive!! These look amazing.

[@tyannajanae8805]

Mmmm looks delicious! Thanks for posting!

[@Misscoolfinds]

These look amazing. I love cinnamon rolls and cake! Sounds so good. Thanks for sharing.

[@ElzChick]

I chose the wrong time to become vegan.

[@tylermacklem7290]

Instead of butter try margarine or coconut oil! And instead of milk try almond milk and it will be sweeter! Idk what's in the cake mix. Good luck!

[@ElzChick]

Tyler Macklem Oh wow! Thank you, I've only just become vegan and it's great to find all of these different things you can use as replacements! Thank you so much :D

[@MetalMouth6963]

ElleSophi You can also use apple sauce as a substitute in cake for eggs and butter :]

[@basmamarhoum865]

Tyler Macklem excuse me i saw the word idk all over youtube what does that mean!!!!

[@ElzChick]

basma marhoum It means 'I don't know'

[@myaandrades3931]

Just made these and tasted them they definitely did not disappoint! The are delicious, thanks!

[@Meowskivich]

This is simple, yet brilliant. Simply brilliant, if one will. I'll have to do this myself sometime.

[@alexm7028]

Oh my! So wonderful! Your videos always bring me joy, yoyomax12!!!

[@gabbycarter5232]

It makes a HUGE difference using bread flower instead!! Also the dough won't be so sticky if you let the dough rise once for a hour then beat it down and let it rise again for another hour before adding the filling. It makes it so much easier to roll out and taste better!

[@LanaDeer]

This recipe is pure magic.

[@berniepynn]

Love your video its straight forward and right to the point.

[@wildheart5]

These are especially yummy looking! I love cinnamon rolls and this is an interesting recipe with great results. Hope you enjoyed them!

[@desireeibarra9153]

oh wow ! gotta try this they sound good.

[@nt0043]

This looks awesome!

[@Landotter1]

[@AnotherGreenMidget]

[@irenethompson9661]

[@ailse491]

[@Taustinismyname]

Awesome! And it's easy to make vegan too!

[@leannmonjak]

Now i know why this channel is called the diet free zone =P hahaha thanks for the recipe

[@katieblock4617]

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Doing it!!

[@tanyanalapo6744]

Finally made this, it is really good! ❤️

[@kristyle8688]

Those look so good!

[@candacesansing]

Miss Tammy, I absolutely love you and your channel. I've been watching you for three years now! I know anytime I'm having a bad day, I can come watch some of your videos to cheer me up. Just listening to your voice calms me down, but at the end of the videos, I surely get a smile from the wonderful creations you make! I just want to thank you so much for always caring for us, and spending time out of your day to make and edit these amazing videos. I love you so much!

[@victoriango9443]

What a strange recipe! I definitely want to try this. And a tip: if you need to roll out dough, you can roll it out on top of your silicone baking mat. You'll still need flour, but it will stick a lot less. Love your videos!

[@ThePikaGamerGirl]

Love the Intro Yoyo!

[@AussieAngeS]

I absolutely love this idea Tammy! Those look fabulous and although very sweet and rich, kids would adore them. The dough is fairly sticky it seems, so thanks for the tip. You need a dough scraper Hun

[@bellafroggy]

look amazing!! Basically two of my favourite foods 'rolled' (pardon the pun) into one!!! xxx

[@MFVyoshinator7]

oh my gosh, that looks so good!!! I'm getting hungry!!

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

I'm trying these soon!!!

[@deandradasilva137]

Making these today with a few changes! Doing a half recipe so I can use the other half of my rainbow chip cake mix for the filling and frosting. Also using Nutella and marshmallow fluff for the filling!

[@foodjazz]

Great creative recipe! They look delicious!

[@89ccullen]

omg they look soo amazing!

[@luvpeacetacogrease]

I made these for a friends birthday & for the family & they loved them. :)

[@sachami7439]

this looks deadly delicious :D

[@anita83281]

Omggg... Looks good :)

[@callmechia]

Made these today. Didn't have rainbow chip but did have some valentines chip cake left over which has the pink and red chips in it. Made the rolls a pretty soft pink color. I will add more cinnamon and filling next time because I felt the filling kinda got lost in all that dough. Delicious though!!

[@myaandrades3931]

Same here more cinnamon and brown sugar for sure!

[@AllyAlohaWw]

This looks so good

[@bloodrose1382]

Could I try this with chocolate cake mix or vanilla cake mx or any other cake mix? I just curious

[@DIANIPALOLILA]

They look sooooo good

[@candrea34]

That looks amazing! where do you find your recipes!?

[@BOWLSQUAD]

Can any flavor cake mix be used for different flavors/frostings?

[@VaaraNethilia]

Wow! Love that recipe! Just need to figure out what Boxcake I can use in germany.

[@hgdhfbv]

wow that looks sooo amazing!

[@missquccibabe]

Mmm this looks so yummy

[@ThSunthatcantshine]

Looks so amazingly gooood

[@zainmanna1206]

Looks delicious

[@RedVelvetD0nut]

What yellow cake mix did you use?

[@tinystegosaurus]

I practically poured a whole bad if flour on my counter and it still was quite difficult to roll them up... Hopefully they still taste good!

[@JAYS3AN4LYFE]

Whats the point of putting yellow cake mix in the frosting recipe? Isn't that going to give a weird/raw flour taste?

[@TammyFam12]

no

[@christeenjubran7893]

If I don't want to use cake mix what can I use instead ?

[@c2bienaime]

That is so delicious. Very beautiful and very fantastic.

[@beaunicorn244]

Do you have to you Instant active dry yeast or can I just use active dry yeast because that's all I could find

[@Amz3797]

Is it ok if I leave the one cup of yellow mix out of the filling or is it necessary? Lovee the recipe (:

[@16Ilovelps]

When I made these the frosting/glaze did not melt on them (I did put it on right after the came out of the oven)

[@chefkendranguyen]

Very creative, and quite pretty.

[@danieleeitminaviciute9312]

mmm thats looks tasty, I m gonna try it :)

[@kylsgurl]

I love homemade cinnamon rolls but they are SO MUCH WORK! Thats why I always buy store bought. These look delicious though!!!

[@tiffanydehaven3148]

I made your rolls once and look at it now as a holiday to make them again they so good and we had lots of fun that like abirthday we look forward to making them again thank you for anew day for us

[@momof2momof2]

They look yummy, but must be very, very sweet

[@jennroxursox08]

omg why did i have to choose a diet now... im gonna sneek these puppies in

[@JessicaRodriguez-em3iv]

Hello Tammy, :) can I use other flavor cake mix?

[@mustafa.bakes.]

Yes

[@writingonangels]

I must make these x3

[@Gerbera727]

These look great I want to try them but can you tell me how may grams the yeast and cake boxes are ( I am in the UK and I think we have different sized packets)

[@MallePoulsen]

I googled what a box of cake box mix was and it's different according to brands, but around the 500g would do I guess. And again googled, a pack of yeast is roughly one tablespoon of dry yeast.

[@NeeNeeBoBelfast]

Most of UK stores are selling cup/spoon measures now. Poundland do them & I've seen them in other places like Lakeland, Sainsburys & Tesco. :D

[@pinkythepuppyproductions3584]

Hi,Tammy! This video was awesome! I really liked how it was a cinnamon roll but with cake! I love them both and this is just perfect for me to bake sometime!! :)

[@buglady58]

Looks delicious to me ;-)

[@morgan3263]

Genius!

[@100littlemisscurious]

Is rainbow chip cake mix kind of like funfetti cake mix because I have never heard rainbow chip cake mix 😜

[@welcometojensworld8725]

YUM!!!! :)

[@winter2625]

So fun! How great would it be to make these for breakfast on someone's birthday?!

[@11825666]

In the UK we have self-raising flour and plain flour, does anyone happen to know which one of these is 'all-purpose flour'? thanks!

[@hurpeline3217]

I believe it's the plain flour. Self-raising flour has baking powder in it so you don't have to add it when you bake :)

[@NeeNeeBoBelfast]

All purpose flour is plain flour in UK :)

[@11825666]

ah thankyou!! :)

[@OneHellOfAMes]

When I roll dough like that I do it on wax paper so I can roll it with the paper

[@TammyFam12]

That is a good idea :)

[@duckyone20]

neat!

[@raquelmassanet2803]

I thought my moms vinegar chocolate cake was weird when I was groing up. I think this one beats it out. But my moms cake turned out delicious, and I love cinnnamon rolls, so hooray for weird!

[@Lots0fLollies]

Chocolate cake mix is good aswell

[@anissag.2084]

yoyomax12 - the diet free zone Do you have to add the 1 cup of yellow cake mix or is that optional? It also looks very good :D

[@whiteedk]

Looks so good, but would cost something like 17$ just for the cake mix if I made it as we don't have any like yellow/vanilla cake mixes here and the imported ones costs over 8$ a box

[@adamcrawford9431]

Oh my word, it makes me so hungry! :-D

[@brunobucciarati834]

Can i use chocolate spread too instead of cinnamon, that look me tasty! Or marshmallow fluff/spread

[@caricarichan]

Just give it a try. but I think it should work!

[@pinkythepuppyproductions3584]

Mmmmmm sounds delicious! :)

[@clolspike]

Hi yoyo! Who made your intro? I love it!

[@chocolatemoosehead1333]

I am so sad!!! On the 9th I found the contest and was so excited to start!! I love you and you made me want to start baking!!! But....... I was a day late!!!!! 😭

[@cutesweetcharms5185]

Yum

[@jemma9332]

+charlie o p, ain flour is all purpose flour xxx

[@Elyanley]

Okay, this is really on my must to try and make for myself. I always wanted to try Cinnamon Rolls but my family doesn't like pure yeast cakes so much, so it should be a nice medium. Though, why was the yellow cake mix added in the center? I am asking because I probably have to try the recipe without any kind of cake mixes^^" We don't have any lying around anymore and its much easier to persuade my family in letting me try out this recipe without the added expensive of buying the mixes. (I am also not sure which one to use. The only "whitish" cake mix i remember is citrus flavoured.. the rest is either chocolate or nuts.. XD)

[@Yazzmizzie]

I notice that you spoon out moist ingredients out of measuring cups such as butter or peanut butter. Just thought to share that you can line the measuring cup with plastic wrap or add a Ziploc bag and then measure your ingredients. :) It serves as an easier and more precise way to measure moist ingredients. (Plus the measuring cup would still be clean.)

[@yoyomax12]

Thanks for the suggestions! I don't think trying to scrape peanut butter from a plastic bag or plastic wrap is going to be any easier. Must easier and more environmentally friendly to wash the measuring cups. The amount left in the measuring cup after scraping is very small and has no impact of the recipe.

[@nagwarabie4059]

I do not know what is the yellow cake mix ,what is the ingredient of it ? Thank you

[@MallePoulsen]

Yellow cake mix is a type of boxed cake ingredients you can buy from the shops. It has all the dry things for the cake and you only add a few things yourself

[@MallePoulsen]

marie2092 Then please correct it if I'm wrong.

[@MallePoulsen]

wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_yellow_cake_mix

[@alyssa41701]

marie2092 What is it then?

[@TammyFam12]

marie2092 She was right, it is from a boxed cake mix.

[@exit5ignn]

AWESOMEEEE

[@mukwah1111]

Brilliant ! Minus the sprinkle part. Do you think this would work with a basic white cake mix Tammy?

[@yoyomax12]

Sure! You could choose whatever flavour you want I think. Could be interesting with a spice cake mix I think (or even plain white)

[@mukwah1111]

Thanks a bundle Tammy ! Shine on !

[@jacobalvarez2134]

Are these original recipes?

[@Cupcake5366]

is all purpose flour the same as plain flour?!

[@autumnboo2323]

Yes

[@rachelevans6987]

interesting but I don't have anything to try this with

[@J88jyy]

Must it only be yellow cake mix or can it be any flavour cake that is yellow in colour

[@weirdalrocks22]

Im sure you can use lemon or any other type of yellow cake mix

[@mermaidboobies]

I don't think the color matters. "Yellow cake" actually refers to a flavor of cake or a specific flavor you can find in boxed cake mixes, not just cake that is yellow in color. I'm sure the recipe calls for it because it's a pretty typical birthday cake flavor, but if you don't mind changing things up a little it would probably work fine with any flavor of cake mix you like or any flavor you can find!

[@J88jyy]

Thx

[@autumnboo2323]

Yellow cake mix tastes like vanilla cake so use vanilla cake mix if you don't want to use yellow cake mix

[@Elizabethig]

In the description it says 3cups of yellow cake mix

[@yoyomax12]

Thanks! Fixed
