This Rhubarb Dump Cake Dessert is a delicious dessert made with simple ingredients! After you have the rhubarb cleaned and diced, there is only 10 minutes of preparation time plus baking! You simply combine all the ingredients in a baking dish and bake. It is suitable for both frozen or fresh rhubarb. The delightful strawberry flavor of the gelatin is complemented by the cake mix topping, creating a texture reminiscent of a fruit crisp or cobbler.


As an avid fan of tart rhubarb, I often express my love for it on my blog. Every Spring, my generous neighbor supplies me with tons of rhubarb. I have always enjoyed this rhubarb dessert when my mother-in-law made it, and now I am excited to share the recipe with you. Even if you haven't developed a taste for rhubarb yet, this great recipe is sure to win you over with its delightful flavors!


What You Need

Ingredients

  • Diced or Chopped Rhubarb

  • Sugar

  • Strawberry Jell-o Mix

  • White Cake Mix

  • Water (or Milk)

Tips for Making Rhubarb Dump Cake Dessert

  • Clean the rhubarb with cold water and dry with a paper towel ensuring all dirt is removed; remove the leafy end and bottom of the stem and discard; dice the rhubarb into small chunks

  • Rhubarb may be purchased at your local farmers market or the grocery store, during rhubarb season

  • If you want to add frozen or fresh strawberries, substitute 1 cup of rhubarb for 1 cup of strawberries, making it a strawberry rhubarb dump cake

  • A yellow cake mix may substitute the white cake mix and any brand will work like Duncan Hines, Betty Crocker, etc. 

  • Frozen rhubarb may be used; remember to thaw the rhubarb and drain off any excess liquid before adding to the recipe
