Jackie Heyer from Cushing, Iowa relies on a cake mix to stir up this moist streusel-topped dessert that pairs tart rhubarb with sweet strawberries. "I prefer it without the frosting so that it doesn't get too sweet," she notes.

20 40 60

Ingredients

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix, divided
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 1-1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting, optional

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine 2/3 cup cake mix and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Add walnuts; set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine the sour cream, eggs and remaining cake mix; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Fold in rhubarb and strawberries. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
  • Bake at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Place frosting in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 15 seconds if desired. Drizzle over cake. Yield: 12-15 servings.

Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

This is wonderful! I only had a lemon cake mix, so I used that and it was delicious. My husband wouldn't even let me get the frosting on it before eating several helpings!
