Ingredients
4 cups of sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb, approximately 15-16 ounces
One 3-ounce package of strawberry gelatin or any red-flavored gelatin
3/4 cup of granulated sugar
One 15.25-ounce box of white or yellow cake mix
1/2 cup of melted butter (salted butter is preferred)
2 cups of cold water
Instructions
Begin by bringing your oven to the right temperature—preheat to 350°F (175°C). This step is vital for consistent baking results.
With your base ready, it’s time to layer the star ingredient. Spread the chopped rhubarb evenly at the bottom of your baking dish.
On top of your rhubarb layer, add the boxed cake mix, sprinkling it directly without any mixing.
Complete your cake by dotting the surface with small cubes of butter, ensuring that golden dessert crust everyone craves.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top reaches a perfect golden crisp. Once baked, let the cake cool slightly.
Now it’s time to savor each delightful mouthful—the soft, moist rhubarb base, topped with the warm and crispy layer, will fill your senses with a fresh, fruity aroma.
