Cinnamon Roll Recipe

Hey, some of our members actually do check our KVDA Blog. So, I suppose I should give them something new to read. Heavens, it has been a while.
This week Marlene Grubbs, our KVDA President and Shirley Via our Second Vice President have been gallivanting all over WVa helping our members prep for our upcoming Prudy Vannier Seminar. They have been to Alderson, Lewisburg, and St. Albans. Ladies, bless your sweet hearts.
Anyway, while at St. Albans, we had Cinnamon Rolls and a wonderful soup to eat. And, some of the girls requested that I post the cinnamon roll recipe on our blog. Yea, someone does read it. So all excited about that thought I promised to do it.
Here is the Recipe:
Cake Mix Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
* 3 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
* 2 1/2 cups warm water
* 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
* 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup pecans
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1/4 cup butter, melted
* 1/3 cup white sugar

* 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
* 1/4 cup butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions
1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix and 3 cups of the flour; stir to combine. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
3. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
4. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 10x16 inch rectangle. spread the softened butter over the rectangle; sprinkle on brown sugar and cinnamon. Starting from one of the long sides, roll up the rectangle and cut into 1 inch wide rolls.
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Pour the melted butter into a small bowl and mix the white sugar and pecans in another small bowl. Dip the top of each roll in the melted butter, then in the sugar and pecan mixture, then place the topped rolls snugly into the prepared pan. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
6. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until rolls are golden. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.
