This Rhubarb Dump Cake combines tangy rhubarb with a sweet, buttery topping for a simple dessert. Perfect for dinner treats.  

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.
