Rhubarb thrives in my northern garden and is one of the few crops the pesky moose don't bother! Of all the rhubarb desserts I've tried, this pudding cake is my No. 1 choice. It has old-fashioned appeal but is so simple to prepare. -Evelyn Gebhardt, Kasilof, Alaska

I have used this recipe for years. I use a white cake mix instead of a yellow and it smells and tastes heavenly! I let the chopped rhubarb and sugar gel up before I sprinkle it over the cake.

This is my new favorite rhubarb recipe. Wonderful creamy texture. Easy to make. Doesn't taste like it started from a mix. I took it to a church dinner and was asked for the recipe! I'll probably try this again sometime with peaches, strawberries, or blackberries.

Incredibley easy and delicious...I used rhubarb I had frozen from my garden and it turned out beautifully!

Fast, easy and oh so delicious. I also make this cake using blueberries (but, use less sugar). I experiment with other cake mixes too, such as I have used lemon with the blueberry.

I have also made this several times. It is an easy and delicious cake. I entered it in our peach bake off (of course I used Peaches), and got 2nd place.

My kids even love this cake, I like it because it is easy and whip it up in no time. I use different flavors of cake mix, and add fresh strawberries.

I also use a small box of strawberry jello and add enough water to make a cup - so good and delicious....yummy

The ease and flavor is wonderful. The rhubarb never did settle to the bottom and looks nowhere like the picture. Wish I knew why.
