There's just something about rhubarb that screams 'spring!' Maybe it's the vibrant pink stalks, or the unique tartness that dances on your tongue. I remember my grandmother, bless her heart, always had a rhubarb patch in her garden. Every year, like clockwork, we'd get a call: 'The rhubarb's ready!' And that meant one thing: pie. Oh, her rhubarb pie...a thing of legend. But lets face it who has time to make pie all the time? This cake is dedicated to people who still love pie but are short on time.

Its comforting and easy and doesnt require a bunch of dishes and that in itself is a win. Plus, the name 'Angelic' comes from how light and airy the cake is, making it feel like a cloud of dessert. So gather 'round, let's get baking – this Angelic Rhubarb Dump Cake is about to become your new favorite springtime indulgence. It's almost too good to be true!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Yep, the standard temp – no fancy oven tricks here! Grab a 9x13 inch baking dish and give it a good greasing. You can use butter or cooking spray, whatever you like. I usually use butter because, well, butter makes everything better don't you agree?
- Rinse and chop the rhubarb. You will need about 4 cups of rhubarb, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces. Don't worry about being too precise; rustic is charming! If your rhubarb is super thick, you might want to peel it a bit first. If its thin there is no need to peel. I hate when people are bossy about peeling things like carrots and potatoes, etc.
- Sprinkle the rhubarb evenly over the bottom of the greased baking dish. This is your tart foundation, so make sure every corner is covered! I use a metal baking pan and not glass because I've had glass explode on me before when making a cobbler and its not something I want to repeat again.
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and the all-purpose flour. Give it a good whisk to make sure there aren't any lumps. This sugar-flour mixture helps to balance out the tartness of the rhubarb and adds sweetness to the cake.
- Sprinkle the sugar-flour mixture evenly over the rhubarb. Try to distribute it as evenly as possible – it'll create a nice, even layer of sweetness.
- Melt the butter. You can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop, whatever's easiest for you. I tend to do mine in the microwave, becuase it is the quickes way. Just be careful not to burn it!
- Pour the melted butter evenly over the sugar-flour mixture. Try to cover as much of the surface as possible. The butter will soak into the dry ingredients, creating a delicious, crumbly topping.
- Gently spread the dry cake mix evenly over the top of the buttered layer. Don't stir! The magic of a dump cake is in the layers, my friend. It might look like a mess at first, but trust the process. I like to use a yellow cake mix becuase I think it really works best with the rhubarb.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender. Keep an eye on it – every oven is different, so baking times may vary. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, it's ready.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving. I know, the aroma is tempting, but patience is a virtue! Cooling allows the flavors to meld and the cake to set up a bit.
- Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. And there you have it – a slice of springtime bliss! Enjoy every bite!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted butter.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries along with the rhubarb.
