Soft, fluffy dinner yeast rolls that start with a store bought cake mix! This recipe is very versatile and can be used to make homemade cinnamon rolls as well.
I promised I would post a new recipe so, I wanted to get this posted before it gets too late. You might think it's a bit strange adding cake mix to Dinner Rolls, but it really works. It's a great time saver if you re in a pinch for rolls. Years back I tried this recipe out of curiosity. I'm all for using a cake mix as a time saver, but in rolls.
In most recipes that call for a cake mix you cant even detect that one was used. Those are my favorite types of recipes. These rolls are slightly sweet and don't taste like a cake mix at all. My husband thought the rolls were really good and couldn't even tell that a cake mix was used until I told him.
This recipe is very versatile and can be used to make cinnamon rolls as well. Just roll out the dough into a rectangle and slather butter all over the dough and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon sugar. Roll up length wise and cut into slices. Place cinnamon rolls on a greased dish and bake. You can sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top if you like.
You can measure out a little over a cup as I did or you can use one box of Jiffy yellow cake mix. I prefer to use the Jiffy cake, because some of the other cake mixes can tend to be really sweet.
If you use a regular boxed caked mix (15 oz) just save the remaining cake mix to make more rolls or use it for a dump cake or cobbler. Lets get started and I will show you how easy it is to make these rolls.

Cake mix and bread flour? What a great combination. I am sure the bread rolls must be very fluffy.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
I am absolutely going to try these. I also love your previous posts about the cake balls and choc chip pumkin cake. I made them both! When I get a compliment I just say, my friend over in Mesquite gave them to me!!
I can't wait to try these this weekend. They look tasty and you make it look simple.
Thank you!
here. They were super awesome! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
I think a white cake mix would work just as well.
