It always seems like my rhubarb goes bad in a hurry, so I was looking for a simple way to combine two of my favorite flavors in an incredibly easy dessert. I added extra spices to enhance the flavor of this strawberry-rhubarb dump cake for a sweet treat my whole family loved! —Jessica Bridge, Grand Junction, Colorado

Very tasty however the crust on the top quickly becomes soggy if you don't finish it all in one day. But it still tastes great. As to the sugar amount question, I used the 1 Tbsp as called for an it was perfect. The OJ, strawberries and cake mix provide enough sweetness to counteract the rhubarb.

Gmueller did you make it? If so, how much sugar did you use? I’m making it right now.

Just want to confirm sugar amount. 1 TB seems too little for 4 cups of Rhubarb. 2/3-3/4 Cup of sugar seems closer to what I think. Strawberries don't add that much more sweetness. Your thoughts?
