Rhubarb Dump Cake

Rhubarb Dump Cake

1. Introduction

A dump cake is prized for its simplicity, as it typically requires no heavy mixing. This version features a jammy, bright red fruit center—often enhanced with berries—tucked beneath a golden-brown, powdered sugar-dusted crust.

2. Ingredients

• The Fruit Base:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen rhubarb, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces.

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries or strawberries (optional, for color and sweetness).

  • 1 cup granulated sugar.

  • 1 package (3 oz) strawberry-flavored gelatin (helps thicken the juices).

• The Topping:

  • 1 box (approx. 15 oz) yellow or white cake mix.

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted.

• Garnish: Powdered sugar for dusting.
