Rhubarb Dump Cake

DSC_1003-1I am a city girl and have never grown anything in my life.

Six years ago, my husband and I moved to Utah and in the backyard of the house that we bought,

there was this….”plant”.

It didn’t really look like a shrub normally used in landscaping

and I was fairly certain that it wasn’t a weed,

so I had hubby come take a look at it before I yanked it out.

Growing up in Oregon, he knew exactly what it was.  He promptly broke off a stalk and

he started to…I couldn’t believe it….EAT IT!

That was my first exposure to rhubarb and now I LOVE my rhubarb plant and anxiously await harvest time.

Now that I knew what my “plant” is, I needed some rhubarb recipes.  I must admit that the word “dump” doesn’t always conjure up a wonderful mental image, but when I found this pin for Rhubarb Dump Cake from Grandparents Plus I knew that I wanted to try it because it looked so easy! And let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint.  So let’s get cooking with rhubarb!

If you aren’t as lucky as me and don’t have a rhubarb plant in your backyard, luckily rhubarb can be bought frozen at any grocery store.  Which is a good thing because you are going to want to make this easy but scrumptious dessert!

    Hi Debbie! I’ve grown up with rhubarb around me, but never really liked it. My son and husband love the stuff, so I usually make a few desserts with it each summer. It freezes well in your freezer, too, for those winter desserts! I’m a teacher and one day, I saw a student take out a baggie of rhubarb, dipped it in sugar and was eating it raw. I couldn’t believe it! I’m pinning this recipe as it looks like a good one! Thanks!
