Savory Cinnamon Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
    2 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
    1 (9 ounce) package yellow cake mix
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    5 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    3/4 cup white sugar
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    3 cups confectioners' sugar
    1/3 cup butter, softened
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 1/2 tablespoons milk
Preparation
    In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
    In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix, salt and vanilla; stir well to combine. Stir in the flour; beat well. Cover bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
    Deflate dough and turn it out onto a well floured surface. Roll dough out into a rectangle and spread with butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up dough and cut into 3/4 inch thick rolls. Place rolls in two lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    Bake rolls in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. While rolls are baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar, 1/3 cup butter, vanilla and milk. Let rolls cool slightly then spread with frosting.
