Description

A very simple rhubarb pudding-bottom cake starting with boxed cake mix. Its gooey base has nostalgic upside-down cake qualities with a sweet-tart flavor.

Ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 cup water
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
5 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2 Combine cake mix, 1 cup water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Top with rhubarb; sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
3 Place remaining 1 cup water in a microwave-safe measuring cup; microwave until hot. Pour hot water evenly over cake.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean or with moist crumbs, 50 to 60 minutes.
