Now let’s get started on making this Rhubarb Dump Cake. Follow these simple steps:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb and granulated sugar. Toss until the rhubarb is coated in sugar.
Pour the rhubarb mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the rhubarb.
Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, ensuring that it’s evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Pro tip: If you prefer a crispier topping, you can sprinkle some additional melted butter over the cake mix before baking.
Expert Tips for Success
Here are a few tips to ensure your Rhubarb Dump Cake turns out perfectly:
Make sure to chop the rhubarb into small pieces to ensure even cooking.
Don’t skimp on the butter. It helps create a rich and decadent topping.
If you want to add some extra flavor, you can sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg over the rhubarb before adding the cake mix.
For a crispier topping, you can mix some chopped nuts with the cake mix before sprinkling it over the rhubarb.
Let the cake cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Variations and Substitutions
While this recipe is delicious as is, you can easily change it up to suit your preferences. Here are a few variations and substitutions you can try:
Instead of using yellow cake mix, you can use white cake mix or even chocolate cake mix for a different flavor.
If you’re not a fan of rhubarb, you can use other fruits like apples, peaches, or berries.
Add some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the cake mix for extra crunch.
For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free cake mix and ensure that all other ingredients are also gluten-free.
Serving Suggestions
This Rhubarb Dump Cake is delicious on its own, but you can take it to the next level by serving it with some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. The creamy and cold texture of the ice cream or whipped cream pairs perfectly with the warm and tangy rhubarb. It’s a match made in dessert heaven!
For an extra special touch, you can also dust some powdered sugar over the top of the cake before serving. It adds a touch of elegance and makes the dessert look even more enticing.
