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
0 whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Spread the chopped rhubarb evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the rhubarb, followed by the strawberry gelatin mix.

Step 4

Evenly pour the dry yellow cake mix over the top of the rhubarb mixture, making sure to cover the entire surface.

Step 5

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Do not stir.

Step 6

Pour the water evenly over the entire dish. This will help moisten the cake mix.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
