Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 large egg
1 tablespoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, red food coloring, and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.
Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll the dough tightly and cut into rolls.
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for 30 minutes.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
While baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Once the rolls are baked, let them cool slightly before spreading the frosting on top.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
Make sure the butter is softened for easy spreading.
These rolls can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking.
