Another family favorite
Fall is here, and I am using up the last of my fresh rubarb. This is another of my “I have made so many times, I don’t have an exact recipe anymore” favorites.
Spray a 9x13 pan, I prefer glass, with cooking spray.
Layer 1: fresh or frozen rubarb
Layer 2: sprinkle with sugar, roughly 1/4 cup
Layer 3: cake mix. (I used lemon this time, but white or regular yellow works too.)
Layer 4: 1 stick of butter sliced into pats and placed evenly over the top.
Layer 5: 1 pint half and half (you can use milk also)
Bake according to cake mix instructions, or until toothpick comes out clean.
We serve this warm with ice cream, whipped topping, or just plain.
Hope you all enjoy it as much as my Krewe does.#bakingforfall #cousocial #lemon8challenge #justme
Rhubarb, a versatile spring vegetable, pairs beautifully with sweet desserts, especially when baked into a dump cake. This Rhubarb Dump Cake combines layers of rhubarb with sugar and cake mix, making it a perfect dessert for fall gatherings or any occasion. One of the key benefits of using rhubarb is its tart flavor, which balances the sweetness of the cake mix and ice cream. For those seeking variations, consider experimenting with different flavored cake mixes like vanilla or spice. Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can elevate the flavor profile, making it even more comforting. Additionally, servings can be complemented with fresh fruit toppings or a dusting of powdered sugar for a more refined presentation. Rhubarb is not only delicious, but it also offers several health benefits. It's low in calories yet high in vitamins C and K, along with antioxidants that can help support overall health. This delightful dish turns the often-overlooked rhubarb into a star, encouraging more people to explore its unique flavor in their dessert recipes. Don't miss out on this opportunity to create a memorable dessert that your family will love!
