Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Wash and trim your fresh rhubarb stalks, cutting them into small pieces, and spread evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the strawberry gelatin and sugar generously over the rhubarb without mixing them together.
  4. Evenly pour the dry yellow cake mix over the top of the rhubarb and gelatin without stirring.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, cold water, vanilla extract, and salt, then pour this mixture over the cake mix evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving warm, topped with vanilla ice cream.
