Total Time: 145 Minutes, Servings: 24 Servings

Ingredients :

FOR THE ROLLS:
• 1 (16.5 oz.) box lemon cake mix
• 4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 2 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 1/2 cups flour
FOR THE FILLING:
• 1/2 cup butter, very soft
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 4 teaspoons lemon zest
FOR THE FROSTING:
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• Pinch of salt

Instructions :

• In a medium bowl, stir yeast into warm water; set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine cake mix, salt and 4 cups of the flour. Stir in the yeast and water. Gradually add the last 1/2 cup flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and a soft but slightly sticky dough forms.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until dough is doubled in size, about 60 minutes.
• Turn dough onto a large, floured surface and knead once or twice. Roll dough into a rectangle about 12 inches wide, 28 inches long and 1/4 inch thick.
• Spread soft butter evenly over dough. Combine sugars and lemon zest and sprinkle over butter.
• Once you have spread the butter and sugar mixture over the dough, cut the large rectangle in half to form two smaller rectangles. Starting with a long end, roll each rectangle into a log. Slice the dough into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces.
• Place the rolls into 2 greased 9x13 pans (or a 9x13 and a 9x9, depending on how many rolls you have). Cover the rolls and let rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• While rolls cook, beat the cream cheese and butter for the frosting with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in the vanilla and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar and salt, mixing until smooth. Add more lemon juice, if needed, until frosting reaches desired consistency. Spread frosting over hot rolls.
