Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Combine rhubarb, pineapple, marshmallows, white sugar, brown sugar, and gelatin in a medium bowl: pour evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Step 3
Add cake mix, 1 cup water, 3 eggs, and ⅓ cup vegetable oil, or according to package directions, to the same bowl, substituting reserved pineapple juice for as much water in the recipe as possible: pour evenly over fruit.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving platter while still warm, or cut into pieces. Turn upside-down to serve.
