Description

Butter cake with a layer of rhubarb and creamy custard.

Ingredients

  • 1 box Butter Recipe Yellow Cake Mix Or Any Other Yellow Cake Mix, 18 Ounce Box
  • Additional Required Ingredients Specified In Mix Package (typically Water, Eggs And Oil)
  • 4 cups Freshly Chopped Rhubarb (frozen Will Work As Well, But It Needs To Be Thawed And Dried Or The Cake Will Be Runny)
  • 1 cup White Sugar
  • 1 pint Heavy Whipping Cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare 9 x 13 pan with butter spray.

Prepare cake mix according to box directions (you’ll typically need water, eggs and oil as directed by the mix package). Spread prepared cake mix into pan evenly.
Evenly distribute rhubarb on top of cake batter. Add sugar on top of rhubarb. Finally, add the cream to the very top of the pan.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 60 minutes. You’ll know the cake is done when a tooth pick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Let cool and enjoy with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or cool whip (whatever you prefer). Don’t worry about the extra calories…this is dessert! Nobody said it had to be healthy!

You could also substitute the rhurbarb for peaches, apples, pears, etc. Or you could add strawberries to the rhubarb to mix it up a little bit.

Fantastic cake! Seriously this must be the best cake that I have made this summer. I loved what the cream did on the bottom of the cake, and the sweet yet sour rhubarb was amazing. I ate way too much! You have to try it!

This was delicious!
I followed the directions as listed thought just eyeballed the amount of chopped rhubarb. I was skeptical when I poured the cream over the cake but figured, “No turning back now!”

As I used rhubarb from the neighbor’s garden, I sent a couple of pieces over to them when it had cooled. The next day, I was told, “This was the BEST use of our rhubarb yet!”

I will say that the leftovers the next day were better than fresh. Having been in the fridge over night, there was a delicious cream (pudding thickness) layer in addition to the rhubarb and cake layer.

Will make this again!

This was so easy, and good, too.

I had a white cake mix on hand, so I used that instead of the yellow the recipe called for.

I like my rhubarb a little on the tart side, so I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup. I also think that the next time I make this I will increase the rhubarb by another cup.
