Cinnamon Rolls

CINNAMON ROLLS:
1 box yellow cake mix
2 pkg (4 1/2 tsp) yeast
5 c. flour
2 1/2 c. warm water

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
1 box powdered sugar
1 cube of butter
1 package cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix dry ingredients together. Add water and mix well. Knead dough until smooth. Raise until double (about 1 hour). Punch down, and let raise another 45 minutes. Divide dough into thirds. Roll one third at a time into a 10x15 rectangle. Spread butter over dough, and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll dough up on the 15 inch side. Pinch edges closed and then cut in 2 inch lengths. Place in a greased pan. Let raise for 15 minutes. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Mix all the ingredients together for cream cheese frosting. Spread frosting over the cinnamon rolls.
