Cake mix Cinnamon Rolls

Okay I haven't tried these yet so maybe I shouldn't post; but I plan to  :)

Cinnamon Rolls

2 1/4 cups very warm tap water
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 white or yellow cake mix
5 cups flour

Cream Cheese Frosting

Filling
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional
1/4 cup raisins, optional

In a large bowl, mix warm water and yeast together with a whisk. Whisk
the cake mix into the yeast water. With a spatula stir in the flour
one cup at a time. Let the dough stand in the bowl in a draft free
place for 45 minutes. Knead enough to punch down and roll to 18 x 10
inches. Add small amount of flour if needed for kneading.

Mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon together. Heat in the microwave
for 15 seconds. Spread over rolled out dough. Sprinkle nuts or raisins
over the dough if desired.

Starting with the widest end, roll the dough into a tight log. Cut
into 1/2 to 1 inch slices. Place in a greased 9x13 pan. Allow the
rolls to raise another 25 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 19-23
minutes. Warm cream cheese frosting in microwave for 30-40 seconds.
Drizzle glaze over the baked cinnamon rolls.  Makes 15 cinnamon rolls.
