Description
3 Ingredient Rhubarb Squares are a simple yet delicious dessert made with only three ingredients: rhubarb, sugar, and cake mix. The tangy flavor of rhubarb is balanced by the sweetness of the sugar, while the cake mix creates a moist, cake-like base. These easy rhubarb squares are perfect for a last-minute treat or when you want something light and fruity.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 box yellow cake mix (or white cake mix)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, toss the chopped rhubarb with sugar. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the rhubarb, making sure to cover the entire surface. Do not mix.
- Dot the top of the cake mix with small bits of butter or margarine (optional, for extra moisture and richness).
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling.
- Let the rhubarb squares cool before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer a sweeter dish, you can increase the amount of sugar to taste.
- For an extra twist, consider adding a small pinch of cinnamon to the cake mix before baking.
- If you don’t have fresh rhubarb, frozen rhubarb can be used as well, just ensure it is thawed and drained before using.
