Rhubarb Dump Cake
Description
Rhubarb Dump Cake features six cups of chopped rhubarb mixed with sugar, eggs, flour, milk, and vanilla for a subtle custardy fruit base. Layered with dry yellow cake mix and topped with melted butter, it bakes into a dessert with a crisp, golden cake crust. The rhubarb softens as it cooks, releasing juices that combine with the cake to create a textured filling beneath the crunchy topping.
Baked at 350°F for 45 minutes to an hour, the finished cake has a visually appealing browned crust contrasted by a moist, tangy interior. The inclusion of eggs in the fruit mixture helps to bind juices for a more cohesive filling, rather than a runny texture.
This cake is suitable for serving as a dessert on its own or topped with cream or ice cream for added richness. Its components require little active time and use pantry staples alongside fresh or frozen rhubarb.
Frozen rhubarb can be substituted but will require additional baking time to cook through. After baking and cooling, store the cake refrigerated, wrapped tightly to maintain freshness for up to five days, ensuring the topping remains crisp and the filling stays firm.
Ingredients
- 6 cups rhubarb cut into 1/2'' pieces
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 egg
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix
- ¾ cup butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 9x13'' baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Mix eggs, sugar, flour, milk and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Stir in rhubarb and mix until combined.
- Spread rhubarb over bottom of a prepared pan. Evenly sprinkle dry cake mix over rhubarb mixture. Pour melted butter over top of entire mixture.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 min to 1 hour or until top is golden brown.
Notes
- Frozen rhubarb works well but add 15-20 minutes of baking to ensure it’s fully cooked.
- After baking and cooling, refrigerate the cake tightly wrapped; it keeps well for four to five days.
