I made this strawberry rhubarb dump cake immediately after finding rhubarb for the first time this spring.

Rhubarb season is way too short, and if you don’t get some the moment you spot it, you just might lose out altogether. At least that’s how it seems to go for me.

Maybe I should grow my own rhubarb…

Anyhow, this strawberry rhubarb cake is the first of my rhubarb recipes this year, and so as long as I can keep finding it, I’ll keep baking with it. I’m a little obsessed with rhubarb in the spring!

Since dump cake recipes are so quick and simple to make, so is this rhubarb cake version, and it has the added perk of being way easier to make than pie. But pie lovers… try this rhubarb pie! You may also love this strawberry rhubarb crisp!

You’ll need about 4 cups of sliced rhubarb, so get to choppin’. That’s the hardest part, and that’s not even hard!

How to store strawberry rhubarb dump cake

Once the cake has cooled completely, it can be covered with plastic wrap or foil and kept in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

It can also be frozen for a couple of months. When ready to eat, let it thaw in the refrigerator.
