Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 ounces strawberry gelatin mix
- 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup water
- whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread the chopped rhubarb evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the rhubarb, followed by the strawberry gelatin mix.
Evenly pour the dry yellow cake mix over the top of the rhubarb mixture, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Do not stir.
Pour the water evenly over the entire dish. This will help moisten the cake mix.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
