Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Two-layer yellow cake mix (see comments)
4 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup granulated sugar
1 pint whipping cream (2 cups)

Prepare batter for cake mix according to package directions; turn into
greased and floured 9x13² pan. (See comments) Dump the chopped rhubarb
on top of the cake batter. Sprinkle the sugar on top of the rhubarb.
Pour the whipping cream (unwhipped) over the sugar. Bake at 350° for
50-60 minutes, until cake springs back when lightly touched.

Cream, sugar, and rhubarb sink to bottom, forming a custard layer.
Makes 1-18 (depending on how you cut it!!) dee-vine servings.

Addendum to recipe, 5/05: Serve warm or cold, from the pan, inverting
piece on plate so it's custard side up.

Comments : Source: Star Tribune Taste Section 5/25/88. Halve the
recipe (Jiffy one-layer cake mix) and use a 9² square pan; bake ±45
minutes. (5/16/95.)

I like the Duncan Hines butter cake mix (vanilla flavor?) that has you
add a stick of butter (I think -- haven't made it in a while). If your
9x13 pan isn't at least 2-1/2" deep, don't use all the batter - remove
about 1/2 cup. This can overflow in a pan that's only 2" deep.

Do you think it would work with cranberries? If so, one (12 ounce) bag
or two?

Best regards,

I imagine it would be grand with cranberries, raspberries,
strawberries, etc. alone or in combination with the rhubarb. When I
made it, the rhubarb didn't give enough contrast to the custard, but I
don't remember what time of the year it was. I suspect my rhubarb was
at fault.

Peach... now that's another possibility!
