Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Fruit Mixture:
    • 2 cups diced fresh strawberries
    • 1 cup diced fresh rhubarb
    • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided
  • For the Cake:
    • 1 package Nana’s Apple Cake Mix®
    • 2 large eggs
    • 10 tablespoons butter (½ cup + 2 tablespoons), melted, divided
  • For the Crumble Topping:
    • ¼ cup old-fashioned oats

Instructions

  1. Macarate the Fruit:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries, diced rhubarb, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Set aside for 15 minutes to macerate.
  2. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Prepare the Cake:
    • In another medium bowl, combine Nana’s Apple Cake Mix, eggs, and ½ cup of melted butter. Mix until well combined.
    • Spoon the cake batter into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan or a 9×9-inch baking pan.
  4. Top the Cake:
    • Spread the macerated strawberry rhubarb mixture evenly on top of the batter.
  5. Prepare the Topping:
    • In a small bowl, combine the oats, the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is crumbly.
    • Sprinkle this crumble topping over the fruit.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Serve:
    • Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • This cake is best enjoyed warm, and the topping adds a wonderful crunch.
  • If you don’t have a springform pan, a regular 9×9-inch baking pan will work just fine.
  • You can also refrigerate leftovers and reheat them for a second serving.
