Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chopped rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cake bakes evenly and achieves a golden-brown top.
- Prepare your baking dish by evenly spreading the chopped rhubarb across the bottom. This will serve as the base layer and provide a tangy contrast to the sweet cake.
- Sprinkle sugar over the rhubarb evenly. This step helps to balance the tartness of the rhubarb and enhances the overall flavor of the cake.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, water, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix, as this could affect the cake’s texture.
- Pour the cake mixture over the rhubarb in the baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure a uniform bake.
- Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it.
- Once baked, let the cake cool slightly before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the cake to set properly. Enjoy!
