Upside Down Rhubarb Cake

Rhubarb upside down cake made with a cake mix and fresh rhubarb has a light strawberry taste and a pretty red layer of fruit, thanks to a box of strawberry gelatin. It's nice for picnics, and the white and red color makes it a natural for the 4th of July or any patriotic occasion.
