Yellow Cake Mix w. Yeast for SinBuns

16 years ago

Made some dough for Cinnamon Rolls but made ,

Cinnamon Buns instead ( Alias, Sticky Buns )

With , Apples and Raisins.

I used the box of , Yellow Cake Mix, Ultra Moist,

That we talked about , a while back.

I added 1 pack of Active Dry Yeast.

Next one, IÂll add another Â½ teaspoon more of Yeast.

It was a 1 lb.- 2.25 oz. Box .

Called for 1 1/3 cups of water,

1/3 cup of oil and 3 eggs.

BUT

I used only 2 eggs , Â½ cup of water and

another Â½ cup of warm water, w. Â½ teaspoon of Sugar ,

added the yeast, to test for rising.

I put all the liquids in the K A and beat w. the paddle beater,

Put on the dough hook and added the box of the Yellow Cake Mix.

Beat until smooth. It was way too soft, so I added:

Â½ cup of Whole Wheat flour and

About 2 Â½ cups of AP flour to make a soft dough.

When doubled , I punched it down and Kneaded.

Meanwhile, in a 10 Â½ in. x 13 Â½ in . SS pan ,

I melted about 8 tablespoons of butter and cooled it about

5 minutes in the frig.

Then I covered that with Dark Brown sugar, Cinnamon, and

Drizzled some Pancake Syrup. Added raisins, & sliced Apples.

I took about Â½ the dough and rolled it out to 14 in. by 16 in.,

about 3/16 in. thick.

Smeared on some vegetable oil, Drizzled on some Pancake Syrup,

Put Brown Sugar all over and sprinkled a lot of Cinnamon.

I rolled this into a log and cut 1 Â¼ in. pieces and " laid " them,

Into the SS pan , on top of all the goodies.

Keep them spaced to allow for the dough to rise.

Fill in gaps with pieces of the log.

Baked at 320 degrees about 40 minutes, or until golden.

I basted the bottom ( top )with egg wash, after baking for a while .

Fini :

I had a piece of the log left over, about 8 inches long,

so I baked it, when it rose. Made a good Cinnamon Roll.

Couldn't wait !!! Cut it warm. Nice texture !

Somewhere between Bread and Cake. Best dough yet !!!

For Cinnamon Rolls.

RECIPE: What's your best improvement to boxed cake mix?
Q
Comments (34)
If I'm making the basic cake (white, yellow, chocolate, etc.) I always sift the powder mix first. I use applesauce instead of oil and I always add vanilla no matter what flavor cake I'm making. If I use the whole egg (I usually use the whites only), I beat the whites separately from the yolk before adding anything else. I've been told that my cakes have the texture of wedding cakes. Now as for variations I have added peanut butter and chocolate (a personal favorite) to a white cake, sour cream to a chocolate cake, strawberries to a white cake (omit water) and I am currently making pumpkin bars from a spice cake mix (which led me to your site because I was looking for a way to turn a white cake into a spice cake so I can double it). Use four eggs instead of three, add a can of pumpkin and a quarter of a cup of applesauce (or oil if you prefer), omit water. Bake as directed on the box.

I see you call yourself Bostonpat.....would your mother by chance have used a recipe from the Fanny Farmer cook book? Also known as the Boston Cookbook? That's what my mother and grandmother used.... I have linked to the page about making bread. Scroll down the recipe I was thinking of is the one called "milk and water bread". It uses half milk and half water for the liquid, no sugar and 2 tablespoons of fat. Yes it calls for a yeast cake, but I use all forms of yeast interchangeably without altering the recipe at all.....and I know annie does the same. I'm not quite into the scientific reasons like grainlady is, but it works for me. However I don't proof bread by the clock, but by watching it and poking it. Also a well kneaded dough makes for a fine textured bread. I suspect you are hooked! And will soon be into whole grains and dried fruits and experimenting with add ins! Harmless hobby....but it is fattening!! Linda c

foodonastump, I didnt mean it to sound like they are being dishonest, or trying to gouge the consumer.Its just a matter of running a business. I stated:" Prices of groceries as with everything else but jobs and wages are going up. These companies are going to raise their prices one way or the other." Gasoline to truck these groceries, and all the other expenses that go along with getting things to the shelves have gone up dramatically. If they didnt raise prices, then that would seriously chip away at any profits they are making.And we know EVERY business is in it for a profit or they wouldnt be in business.(Exceptions are non profits.) I do believe they hope the customer isnt going to notice the increase by making things smaller, or otherwise they would just increase the price and be done with it. But the fact is, prices are going up on everything.Its just "cause and effect". There is not a whole lot that can be done with it. Tammy

recipe for rolls using a cake mix

Got this recipe for cinnamon rolls from a Tupperware party at least 35 (Gulp!) years ago and it's been a family favorite ever since. Cinnamon Rolls 2 pkg yeast 2 cups warm water Box of white cake mix 4 cups flour Filling 1 stick butter or margarine (melted) Sugar to your taste * Cinnamon to your taste * Walnuts (optional) Vanilla Frosting * I keep a big shaker bottle of sugar/cinnamon mixture in the cupboard for toast, cereal, etc., not sure of the exact ratio. Dissolve 2 pkgs yeast in 2 cups of warm water in large bowl. Add box of cake mix and 4 cups of flour. Mix well. Let rise to double, about one hour (in my oven, just barely turned on). Roll flour mixture into large rectangle on a floured surface, to about 1/4 to Â½ inch thick. Pour melted butter along center of rectangle and spread to edges until entire surface is covered with butter. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (I spread it on pretty thick) and add nuts if desired. Very gently roll the rectangle into one (lengthwise) log. I use a floured spatula to lift and roll, lift and roll, etc. Cut roll into 3/4 inch slices. Let your rolls rise for another 45 minutes and bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Frost with vanilla frosting while still warm.

Thanks Ladies: My 2 daughters came up this morning, for my Son's Birthhday.
So I cooked a Turkey, which I will put in WFD # 262.
We polished of most of the Sin Bunns, along with the Birthday cake.
And I stuck( hid ) 2 Bunns in the freezer, for tommorrow.
They can have the store bought Birthday Cake.

Lucy : You are the closest. You can have one. I have the coffee ready.

I don't think they would make it to Ca.

Still don't know who I talked to about the Yellow Cake Mix, with yeast.

Grainlady:
I bumped this up to see if you; or anyone else, had a simple suggestion,
for a Substitute, instead of using the Yellow Cake Mix.

I talked to someone awhile back, about using the Box Mix but can't remember who.

This made the best Dough for Bunns and Rolls , that I have ever made before.

If any one remembers who I talked to, could you please let me know, By email.

We are talking about History here, not just a Sin Bunn.

Can you imagine the FF going down in History!!! of the U.S.
They will have to make a new Flag with Cinnamon Rolls instead of Stars.

Now everyone stand, while I sing our National Anthem.

Thanks, Lou
PS: If you stood up, we are all in trouble!!!

I can hear you singing all the way down here in Cleveland :)

I love how you added apples to this ... looks so good ! Don't know how I missed this, yes I do ... I can't keep up with this forum, and if I did no cooking would get done around here ... the food critic would not be happy.

I did suggest that I should give up something I love for lent, but when I mentioned cooking/baking there were load groans all around.

Lou, I have a question..what do you mean by "fill in spaces with pieces of the log"? Do you squish them in so they fit tight? And after you put the slices in, how long do you let it rise before you bake it..or don't you? I duuno..be nice...I want to try it and don't want to mess it up!

Uh, you did WHAT to the buns in the pan, Lou?? Then in the freezer????
(covering my ears.......I don't wanna know).

I think that was me that posted about using the cake mix for buns.

My recipe is:

1 yellow cake mix (no pudding)
5 c. flour
2 1/2 c. warm water
2 pkg. dry yeast

Yup, that's it. You can play from there.
I've used spice cake for Cinn buns. I'm wondering about a chocolate cake mix, then fill with raspberry or strawberry jam. Or maybe Coconut Pecan frosting. Haven't tried it yet.

OhioMom :
I told Kathleen last week, that You don't have to give up food for Lent.
It is just the sacrificing, for the things you like to do.

When I glanced, I thought you were giving up love, til I reread.
Now that's a sacrifice, although I guess for some of us it would'nt be.
Makes it a lot easier for Lent though.

I don't worry it to much, because I'm always Sacrificing myself here.
Testing recipes,to be sure they are safe. I don't know how many times,
I put my life in Jeopardy, doing this for you women.

Lee:
All kinds of things come into my mind.
Really, I have a lot of cake mixes and wanted to use some of them up.
It would have been easier, just to bake a Yellow Cake but that isn't very creative.

I'm glad I did, because I came up with something good and it's easy.

Kathleen:
Someday, I'm going to sing " Danny Boy " to you.
I'm the best, Italian, Irish, Tenor in North America.
End wieth aein Iiierish Brooogue, ie'll ave ye !!!

When I rolled the Dough into a Log, I had a lot left over.
So, I took pieces from it, to fill in the larger spaces,
as can be seen, in the Photo. Just stuff them in.

I let it rise a little and the Rolls all filled in solid, before I Bake them.
I may try dried fruit next time, or just use Raisins and Nuts.
Because it was a little soft under the Apples.

Was I nice enough !!!!

Deanna: Sorry I hit Submit instead of Preview, before.
I don't remember if it was in a Post or I just talking about doing this.
Anyway, I done did it and it worked out good. Took me a while,
to find the original Post. I don't want to go back in again, to look.

I guess the weatherman was right, we're getting Thunder Storms here.
I might have to shut down and find some flashlights.

Don't give up food! Our body's have enough problems, without giving up the
nurishishment that it needs, to survive.
Why not give up something, that you like to do. Now that's sacrificing.

It's not going to help anyway, because you are a bad girl.

Let me know if you try the Bunns. I'll come over and eat
all of them.
So you can keep your Lent.
