Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/3 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
Powdered sugar for frosting
Instructions
Make the dough by mixing flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in one bowl. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and food coloring. Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a sticky dough.
Let the dough rise at room temperature for about an hour.
Prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter.
Roll out the dough and spread the filling evenly before rolling it tightly into a log. Cut into individual rolls.
Allow the rolls to rise again for 30 minutes before baking at 375?F (190?C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
While warm, top with cream cheese frosting.
Notes
For added flavor variations, consider using chocolate chips in the filling or adding nuts on top of the frosting! These rolls can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated overnight for a hassle-free bake in the morning.
