Rhubarb Cake

 Fresh rhubarb season is almost here! I've been checking my rhubarb plants, they are growing but not quite ready to pick. So I checked my freezer and was happy to find a package of rhubarb. This is a quick and easy dessert to put together. Serve warm and if you like you can top it with a scoop of frozen yogurt or ice cream and you have a wonderful dessert!
Ingredients:

• 4 1/2 cups rhubarb, chopped
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 small package strawberry flavored gelatin powder
• 1  517g (18.25 oz) package of yellow or white cake mix
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 3/4 cup water

Method:

1. Place chopped rhubarb evenly in an ungreased 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
2. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over rhubarb.
3. Next sprinkle strawberry gelatin powder on top of the sugar mixture.
4. Sprinkle cake mix on top of the gelatin powder.
5. Drizzle melted butter on top of the cake mix.
6. Pour water over all.
7. Bake at 350º for 1 hour.
8. Yields: 12 generous pieces

Tip: I used slightly frozen rhubarb..if you use fresh rhubarb increase water to 1 cup.
