Aunt Kaye’s Rhubarb Dump Cake

  4.1 – 65 reviews  • Dump Cake

I cooked ground beef that was 95% lean in a sauté with fresh mushrooms, onion, and mustard powder. Make sure to remove the liquid from the mushrooms as well as any fat. Low-fat sour cream, low-fat mayonnaise, and low-sodium beef broth were all combined. This lean beef stroganoff had a delicious blend of sauce, steak, and mushroom flavors that all stood out on their own.

I had a quart of canned rhubarb that I wanted to use. Since it was canned in a light syrup I skipped the water. Used a strawberry cake mix as it was all I had, and a 6 ounce box of strawberry jello. Mixed it around a bit and topped it with a cube of butter. Was very good especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

As suggested by others, I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup and blended the cake mix with the water and melted butter then poured in over top. Turned out great. Thanks for sharing.
Bryce Martinez
Just like grandma used to make! Threw in a couple cups of sliced strawberries because I had them.
Thomas Nash
I would add twice the rhubarb and cut sugar and jello in half. Way too sweet as written and you could not taste the rhubarb.
Shane Campbell
This is a very good recipe. I halved all of the ingredients and used a Jiffy Yellow Cake mix (9 Oz) to make ours. And I added a few left over strawberries that we had on hand. This is a wonderful dessert.
Clinton Lopez

Dana Costa

Caleb Howard

I made this cake per the directions; it tasted pretty good but there was unbaked cake mix here and there on the top of the cake after baking. The directions said not to stir but if I made it again I would stir the top lightly. I also cut the sugar in half since I like the natural tartness of rhubarb; it was sweet enough using just 1/2 cup of sugar. I would give it one more try since it was easy and fast to make.

I have made this dump cake three times. The first two was a little to sweet, so I increased the Rhubarb to at least 6 cups and cut the amount of sugar to 2/3 cup. It was just the right mix of sweet/ tart taste.. I think the next time I am going to add some more butter so there is less cake powder mix.
Jeanne Wells
Worked out way better than I thought it would! Tasted great and was not as heavy as I expected. I did sprinkle a little sugar in the bottom of the pan before adding the rhubarb and put the rest on after.
Jasmin Ramirez
There were large glumps of dry cake mix on top.
Jane Pham
I really didn’t care for this recipe. Very dry. I added about 3 cups of rhubarb. Enough to cover bottom of pan. Won’t make this again
Harry Underwood
This is SUPER easy to make! I added fresh strawberries to one half of the rhubarb, and it was so delicious! I’m going to make it again, today, but I’ll be using a watermelon flavored cake. I’m sure that it will be just as good as the first one.
Dennis Becker
Try this last night and we just loved it. I plan on freezing some rhubard to make this in the winter. Served it to guest and it was a hit. Next time I will make it with half the sugar. 5 stars from my family
Timothy Oliver

Tried it once and it was a big hit.

I have a flat layer of wet cake mix over a bed of rhubarb; it’s not even crisp.
