This strawberry Rhubarb Dump Cake recipe original published May 31, 2013, but has been updated and relaunched for your convenience. 🙂
Easy Strawberry Rhubarb Dump Cake
The first thing you have to do is prep the strawberries and rhubarb. This is the part that takes the longest of the entire recipe. But it is also the most crucial. It really gets the flavors blended and provides a soft and juicy fruit filling. Combine the quartered fresh strawberries and cut rhubarb in a bowl with the cup of sugar. Stir until all the fruit is coated. Then let sit for one hour. This allows the rhubarb juices to flow and softens the fruit. So you aren’t left with crisp chunks of rhubarb after baking.
Tip: when slicing the rhubarb, I recommend a quality food processor. It goes so much faster! This week, I sliced over 10 pounds of Rhubarb into perfectly even slices in less than 10 minutes. Where last week it took me about 1.5 hours to hand slice 2 lbs. We had a lot of Rhubarb to process this week.
After soaking for an hour, Preheat the oven to 425 Degrees. Then drain all but 1/2 cup of the juice that was expressed. Stir back in the remaining 1/2 cup juice plus the Corn starch, vanilla and salt with the fruit.
Lightly spray a 9X13 pan and then layer with the fruit filling.
Next Sprinkle with the Cake mix and drizzle the top with the melted butter and a cup of soda. Do not stir!
Bake the Strawberry Rhubarb dump cake for 25 minutes at 425 degrees. Then return and lower the temperature to 350 degrees and cook for the remaining 15-20 minutes. Cook until the cake is golden and the rhubarb is soft.
You can serve Hot or cold. With and without a scoop of vanilla ice cream! And that is it! Now you have a delicious Strawberry Rhubarb dump cake for your family or social gathering! It’s a great way to use up excess Rhubarb. And tastes delicious! And like I said it is super easy to make! You don’t have to be a pastry chef to make this delicious Strawberry Rhubarb dessert.

If I was somewhere near you I would hug you right now. I LOVE rhubarb and we used to grow it in our garden when I was young. I could go out and get it anytime. I spent most of last summer looking for a recipe just like this. You must know that I am going to make this as soon as I have strawberries. THANK YOU!

I haven’t seen strawberry and rhubarb together too often, it’s something I miss from my childhood. We can never get rhubarb in season here 🙁 But this looks yummy!
daisy
I LOVE Rhubarb! I can’t wait to make this for my hubby because it reminds me of when we lived in Minneapolis and Rhubarb seemed to be popular.
Greta
I’ve never had rhubarb. What does it taste like?
Amber Edwards
Oh shoot! I have no idea how to describe it. It is rather sour. But in this it is the perfect blend of sweet and tangy sour. There is nothing else like it that I can think of.
Angela
I totally agree – this does look like the perfect summer dessert!
mel
Man does this look good!!! SO YUMMY!!! I want to make it now!
Ronni Keller
I’ve never made a dump cake but we make some awesome rhubarb and strawberry pie, kinda the same!! It grows wild behind my mom’s house!! Sometimes, we just pull it, wash it, sprinkle with some sugar and…. Oh Yeah!!

That looks so delicious! I love Rhubarb!
Homeschooling Mom
Aghhhhh! Where was this a few days ago? I bought a GALLON of strawberries from the Amish the other day and some of it went bad before my kids could eat them all (shockingly)! This would have been a great “Hurry before it goes bad” recipe! It looks delicious and can’t wait until I get back home to try it!

I love how moist and flavorful this is!
Summer Davis
STOP making my mouth water over stuff I am not allowed to eat! I’m gonna have to cut you! (and a piece of that dump cake)
Amber Edwards
I’ll give you a slice of the cake first. You may rethink cutting me. lol.
And this is why I stopped losing weight. I can’t resist these desserts! I need to stop baking for the blog and start cooking healthier foods. But these are just way more fun!!

I did a raspberry dump cake about 3 months ago and the response was huge. Looks like yours is too!

I am not a fan of rhubard, but it looks yummy.
Kathleen
I think I’ve mentioned before I have never had rhubarb I don’t think. I certainly have never made anything with it but my mom loves it. It looks delicious though but I would only eat it cooled down as I don’t like warm fruit.
Sandy a la Mode
ohhh yum! this looks SOO good!!
danielle
confession – I have never cooked with rhubarb. I think I could handle this tasty recipe. Thanks so much for linking up to Friday Food Frenzy!

I’m pinning this as strawberry rhubarb is my fathers favorite dessert!
Amanda
I used to make Strawberry Rhubarb jam! The cake sounds delicious!
Penny
Can you use frozen berries and rhubarb? Would you just increase the cornstarch some?
Kelly
This looks delicious, I can’t wait to make it.
Christina Kelbel
Pinned and will be trying, I LOVE strawberry rhubarb pie.
Rust
I’ve never tried this combination but it looks wonderful!
Linda Petteys
My husbands (and mine too) favorite dessert is strawberry rhubarb pie. I have always loved rhubarb – I have good memories of pulling it from the ground at my grandparents home when I was a young child and biting into it and experiencing that love/hate feeling! This looks like a quicker way to get that wonderful flavor.
Alis
This is the second rhubarb recipe I have come across lately, so now I really just want some rhubarb. I’ll definitely be pinning this in a moment. Rhubarb always reminds me of my mom because she used to cook with it a lot when I was little because we grew it in our garden. I haven’t had it in years. This recipe sounds great! I’ll have to make it for her.
Robin (Masshole Mommy)
That looks delicious!! Can you believe that I have never tried a Rhubarb before, though? I need to get on that.
Louida
I have never tried this before but it looks really good. Thanks for the recipe! Looks like a great desert for the Summer!
Anna
I’ve never had rhubarb before (to my knowledge). This looks like a yummy way to start.
Kungphoo
Easy recipe and it looks so good! I like cakes like this..
Keikilani
This looks so easy and yummy! I am gathering good strawberry recipes to use… I found a really great place to buy strawberries in bulk! This dump cake is making the list!!!
Laura (Lauras Little House Tips)
This is such a nice recipe. I always forget Rhubarb. Had so much of it as a child I block it out but I love it with Strawberry. It completely changes the bitterness. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Elayna Fernandez ~ The Positive MOM
I never heard of Rhubarb until my hubby said he absolutely loved it and wanted me to taste it. He went crazy seeing that they had it at Whole Foods. He was born in Oregon where it was common but here in Texas not so much. I’ll have to surprise him and make him this dessert. Thank you!
Liz Mays
It’s so hard to find rhubarb down here. We had plenty of it in Michigan. I miss it so much and this looks great. Pinning!
Kero Pinkihan
gooey yummy and refreshing! loev the simple recipe. i can follow this and will sure to try come weekend
Dawn @ Pin-n-Tell
Oh, WOW Amber! This recipe looks so tasty 🙂 I need to try this. I love Strawberry-Rhubarb pies and also the ease of dump cakes. This is the perfect combo.. I’m so pinning this!
Esther
We used to have a Rhubarb plant in our yard when I was younger and my mom would make all kinds of things with it. Brings back memories! These recipes look delicious! I am going to try them out! I am sure my family will love them!
Ferryal
Can I use only strawberries, so 8 cups of them?
Amber Edwards
Yes, you can omit the rhubarb if you don’t have any. just use 8 cups strawberries instead. 🙂 Good luck!
Kathleen Merkin
Help! Can I make this the day before we expect to serve it? Thinking about using it for a dessert on Thanksgiving.
Amber
YES!!!
While most people love to serve it hot, I actually prefer it cooled. The filling has a chance to thicken up and the flavors blend more. I personally think it is better the next day. You’ll probably want to store it in the fridge overnight. But if you want it warm, you can toss it in the oven on a low temp to warm it a few minutes. Or each person can each warm their own piece personally in the microwave if they prefer it warm.
Ann Brown
Since I’m the only one in my house that likes rhubarb, I cut recipe in half, wonderfull. The extra sauce I turned into topping for cake.
Pat
Can you use frozen strawberries?
Amber
You can but they have to be thawed and drained first.
Claudia Petrin
Love the dump cake recipe.. I’ve made strawberry n rhubarb sauce. Try it. Just add some sugar n tapioca to thicken.cook on med heat.
Karen L Mitchell
Has anyone tried this yet?
José
What!! I take less than 10 minutes to hand chop a pound of rhubarb. It does take a very sharp chef’s knife. I just make a lengthwise cut if it’s too thick, then line three or four stalks along side each other and zip right through them. This recipe looks great and I can’t wait to try it.
