How to Make Rhubarb Dessert

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
In a medium bowl, combine 4 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup granulated sugar (or sugar substitute to taste), and 3 oz sugar-free raspberry jello (or regular jello).
Spoon the rhubarb mixture evenly over the cake batter in the pan.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
