This super easy rhubarb dump cake is made with layers of ingredients, including fresh diced rhubarb, strawberry-flavored gelatin, and a cake mix. It's a great way to use that spring and summer rhubarb.
Feel free to replace a cup or two of the rhubarb with sliced fresh strawberries or whole frozen strawberries. Top the warm cake with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
