Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 4 cups Fresh Rhubarb
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 oz Strawberry Jello
Topping
  • 1 box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Water

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Spread the chopped rhubarb evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the granulated sugar and the dry strawberry Jello powder evenly over the rhubarb layer.
  4. Pour the dry yellow cake mix over the top of the rhubarb and Jello, spreading it out to cover the edges.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter and the water over the top of the cake mix as evenly as possible; do not stir.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the rhubarb is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the Jello to set slightly.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the best experience.
