    In extra-large glass or metal bowl, beat cake mix, water and orange peel with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 1 minute. Pour into ungreased 10-inch angel food (tube) cake pan. (Do not use fluted tube cake pan or 9-inch angel food pan or batter will overflow.)

    Run knife around side of pan to loosen cake; remove from pan. Cut cake horizontally to make 3 layers. Fill layers with strawberry-rhubarb filling. Frost side and top of cake with frosting. Arrange 1/2 cup strawberries over top of cake. Store covered in refrigerator.
