Irresistible Pink Velvet Rolls
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (plus extra to pour over before baking)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for spreading)
- Pink food coloring (a few drops)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, heavy cream, melted butter, vanilla, and a few drops of pink food coloring until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll into a rectangle about 10×12 inches.
- Brush the surface with melted butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the buttered dough.
- Starting at a long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 8–10 even rolls.
- Arrange the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish and pour an extra 2–3 tablespoons of heavy cream over the rolls.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tops are golden.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
- Remove rolls from the oven and drizzle or spread the cream cheese frosting while warm. Serve warm.
