    A magical combination of tart and sweet in this 4-Ingredient Rhubarb Dump Cake

    Rhubarb has a bit of a reputation for being a TART. 

    Like literally.

    A TARTY, TARTY, TART-TART.

    They are legit tart. Which is why they are often paired with sweeter fruits like strawberries and other berries. 

    But for some “purists” – like my mom – rhubarb is meant to be enjoyed “without all that other fruity stuff.” 

    When we are at the lake cabin with her, I like to make rhubarb-y, tart-y dishes for her and let me tell you about this one. 

    It was GONE IN MINUTES. 

    The entire pan, polished off. 

    It’s very similar to the other ‘dump’ cakes that we have around here. And here’s how I made it…

    How to Make Rhubarb Dump Cake 

    Most dump cakes involve a canned pie filling, topped with a cake mix + butter combo. 

    For this one, I swapped the pie filling for thawed frozen rhubarb pieces + sugar. I did the same “cake mix + butter” topping. 

    Some recipes call for melted butter drizzled over the top of the cake mix…

    BUT…

    IMHO…

    (that stands for in my humble opinion)

    The consistency of the topping is just better when you cut softened butter into the cake mix…versus pouring melted butter over the top.
