For those who have never really cared for rhubarb like myself, this recipe will change your mind. We were served this at a relatives cottage with fresh rhubarb. I politely declined a piece and only had a bite of my husband's after all the raves about it. Ended up having my own piece and got the recipe as well. A bit of Summer indulgence!

I just pulled this out of the oven and is cooled enough to taste. YUM! I added a cup of strawberries, I was just a bit short on the rhubarb and used wild strawberry jello. Much better than I expected. Will make again!

This tasted great but I was a little suprised at what I had at the end of process. It was REALLY more like a cobbler than a cake and I was kinda disappointed by the loose, dry cake mix sitting on the top. We also used strawberry jello. But again, it tasted great and was a great recipe for my fresh, spring rhubarb.

This was great. The water makes it less rich and of course healthier. I love Rhubarb so I only used 1/4 cup of sugar.This was sweet enough and I had a little tang of the rhubarb. For me this was plenty of sugar with the jello. I did use strawberry jello. My rhubarb was frozen so I followed the directions and used just 1/2 cup of water. The only alteration I made was I did top it with 1 cup of chopped pecans (also like the old original recipe called for).

My fiance and I love this recipe - used sugar free jello mix. The combination of sweet and sour from the rhubarb is great! I wouldn't call it a cake, but rather a bar, but very good.

I was pretty disappointed when I first tried this. The cake doesn't seem to set, so its all slightly gooey. The taste is good though, and I have been enjoying eating it straight from the freezer. I don't think I'll be making this again.

I used strawberry Jell-o. This dessert was a huge hit at a potluck last night. Definitely a recipe I'll use again. I do agree with others that it isn't really a cake.

Excellent recipe. I too have fooled my rhubarb hating husband with it! I usually use a white cake mix and strawberry gelatin though. And I always top it with cool whip. Yum.

Very fast and easy. I substituted strawberry jello for Rasberry and I cut down on the sugar because I like it a little tart. One of my favorite recipes for rhubarb.

Wonderful!! As a suggestion, once everything is in the pan, give the cake mix and water a light mixing. Be careful not to disturb the rhubarb. Excellent cobbler-type dessert over vanilla ice cream!

I loved this cake. I make it all the time. I found the raspberry jello a little sharp so switched it to strawberry and it is even better.

This was very easy but I thought it was sickening sweet. Next time, I'll reduce the sugar. I also didn't care much for the cake mix powder that was left on the top, but that's a dump cake for 'ya!

Oh, I hate to say it, but this was terrible! It was sickeningly sweet, and it never really turned into cake, more like rhubarb with a crust/crumble. I admit that I was rather skeptical when I layered all of the ingredients, thinking that it would not turn into a real cake - and indeed it didn't. There are such better things to do with rhubarb that don't involve turning into a chewy jammy substance-kind of like fruit leather around the edges.
