Raspberry Cake

My mom sent me this recipe today.  She got it from kraftrecipes.com.  She mixed 2 cups of raspberries with 3 cups of rhubarb.  When my dad came in from mowing the lawn and had piece of the cake, he said "this is my new favorite cake".  This is a good testimonial as to the taste.

1 cup sugar
1 3-oz pkg strawberry jello
3 cups mini marshmallows
1 white cake mix (two-layer size)
2 cups thawed Coolwhip

Directions
 
Heat oven to 350'. Grease 13x9" pan. Spread raspberries (and/or rhubarb) in bottom of pan. Sprinkle evenly with sugar and dry jello. Cover with marshmallows.


Prepare cake mix as directed on package; pour over marshmallows.

Bake 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool. Frost with Coolwhip.
