Growing up my grandparents would always bring goodies with them every time they visited. While it wan’t anything expensive, I would get excited to see what they brought . My favorite things included packs of gum, homemade maple syrup and fresh rhubarb. Just thinking about that makes me a little sad.
Isn’t it always simple memories like that you miss most?
Because we always seemed to have an endless supply of rhubarb when it was in season, my mom had several recipes in which to use this tart but wonderful fruit like vegetable. (I actually looked it up and while it is technically a vegetable it is regulated in the US as though it were a fruit. You learn something new every day.)
This cake was a popular one for our family as it as a soft top with just the right mix of sweet and tart with an extremely moist cake below. It is very easy and is sure to be a hit with anyone who enjoys rhubarb!
- 5 cups rhubarb cut into small bite sized pieces.
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 small box strawberry JELLO
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows.
- Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake Mix (or your favorite cake mix)
- ½ cup oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- Grease 9 X 13 inch pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spread rhubarb on bottom of pan.
- Pour sugar over rhubarb
- Sprinkle gelatin over sugar
- Top with mini marshmallows
- Mix cake according to package directions using oil, eggs and water.

This looks incredible. My step-moms grandma always made rhubarb desserts. I must give this a try!
I’ve made this recipe three times and my family loves it!
This looks delicious! I grew up with rhubarb growing in the back yard so we had desserts made with rhubarb often . Oh how I miss those yummy desserts. Rhubarb cake was the dessert made most. The recipe we have for rhubarb cake is so different from yours. I’m going to have to get some rhubarb and give yours a try
Definately want to save this! My parents have some rhubarb in their garden this year. Thanks for sharing!
