Jen's Strawberry Rhubarb Banana Cake

This is a delicious spring time recipe that I joke we could have named Everything But The Kitchen Sink cake. It is extremely moist and pairs well with a cup of coffee while sitting outside enjoying the springtime weather!

Based on my other recipe, you know we love rhubarb and I love spring! What better way to celebrate spring than with another rhubarb recipe? My husband would probably say something about morels, but I say rhubarb!

I "invented" this recipe the other day and it didn't last long at all! I took some to my parents and some to my in-laws and we cleaned up the rest. Oops! No kidding, though, it is that delicious. The girls and I joked that I could have named it Everything But The Kitchen Sink Cake because we decided at the last minute to use some strawberries that were going bad in the fridge. I just cut off the "bad" parts and used the good parts. Another variation of this could be done with raspberries, too.

Go grab some rhubarb from your garden or grab some from the freezer and make this delicious springtime dessert!

Thanks to my mother in law I had a pretty good collection of rhubarb to get used up tonight. I decided to make one of our springtime favorites: Rhubarb Dump Cake! It’s a simple, delicious recipe.

Ingredients:

4 cups chopped rhubarb

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup of strawberry jello powder

1 box of white cake mix

1 cup of hot water

6 T. melted butter

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°

Spread chopped rhubarb in bottom of a 9X13 baking dish.

Mix together sugar and Jell-O powder and then sprinkle over top of the rhubarb.

Sprinkle the entire box of white cake mix over top of the sugar mixture.

Pour hot water on top of cake mix.

Pour melted butter on top and bake for 40-45 minutes.

You can enjoy this desert hot or cold after it is refrigerated! Enjoy!
