Strawberry Rhubarb Cake

by Merrill Smith

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:
2 cups rhubarb, finely cut (raw)
2-3 cups fresh strawberries, finely cut
¾ cup sugar
1 small package red strawberry jello
3 cups small marshmallows
1 cake mix and ingredients to prepare it (white or yellow)

Directions:

Spread strawberry and rhubarb mix over bottom of 12” dutch oven
Mix 1 cup sugar with 1 small package red strawberry jello
Shake evenly over strawberry rhubarb
Cover strawberry rhubarb and sugar/jello mix with small marshmallows
Prepare one cake mix according to package directions (white or yellow are probably best, but you could experiment with spice or something else).  Or use your favorite cobbler mix directions.
Pour prepared cake mix over top of marshmallows.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 60 minutes rotating every 15 minutes 45 degrees.  Check with tooth pick to make sure cake mixture is done (tooth pick should be clean…no batter).

Serve with ice cream or whipped topping, if desired.
