"Bake a rainbow breakfast with these Birthday Cake Sweet Rolls"

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 9 rolls

ingredients

• 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3⁄4 cup white cake mix
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• kosher salt
• red orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple food coloring
• 1 lb bread dough, defrosted
• all-purpose flour, for rolling dough
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk, plus more if necessary
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• rainbow colored sprinkles, for serving

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8” x 8” square cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cake mix, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth. Divide into 6 small bowls and tint each one with a different color.
3. Place bread dough on a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, shape the dough into a rectangle, ⅛-inch thick and 13” x 10”.
4. Spread each rainbow filling across dough in separate stripes, length-wise, getting as close to the edges as possible. Starting with the long, red side of the rectangle, roll the dough up into a log.
5. Use a sharp knife or serrated bread knife to carefully slice the log into 9 equal portions. Transfer to prepared cake pan, placing rolls cut side up, 3-by-3. Transfer to oven and bake until golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, make glaze. Add confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla to a large bowl. Whisk to combine, adding more milk if necessary to reach a consistency that is thick but pourable.
7. Drizzle glaze immediately on cooled birthday cake rolls and top with rainbow sprinkles. Serve warm.
