Description
Strawberry Rhubarb Dump Cake is an easy and delicious dessert that combines sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb with a buttery, golden cake topping. With minimal prep, it’s a comforting treat that’s perfect for any gathering or casual dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
- 2 cups chopped rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
- 1 box yellow or white cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, if your rhubarb is very tart)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Spread the strawberry pie filling evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Add the chopped rhubarb on top of the strawberry pie filling. If your rhubarb is very tart, you can sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar over it before adding the cake mix.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the strawberry and rhubarb mixture. Do not stir—just spread the cake mix out evenly.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix, covering as much as possible. It’s okay if some parts are not fully covered, as the butter will melt during baking and form a golden, crispy topping.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Allow the dump cake to cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Feel free to add other fruits like raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor.
- If you prefer a crispy topping, you can sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the cake mix before baking.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free cake mix and ensure the pie filling is also gluten-free.
