I 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!

Rhubarb Dump Cake

Author Made From Pinterest

Ingredients

• 1 package yellow cake mix
• 3-4 cups cut up rhubarb
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 4 oz package of Strawberry Jello
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Layer the cut up rhubarb in a greased 9x13 pan.
• Sprinkle the cup of sugar over the rhubarb and then sprinkle the strawberry jello on top of the sugar
• Pour the dry yellow cake mix over the rhubarb.
• Pour the 1 cup water over the cake mix and then lastly pour the melted butter.
• Do not stir.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.

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!
