- The amount of flour indicated may vary. Add flour in portions to the liquid mixture until a spreadable batter is formed. If the batter is too firm, you can add a dash of milk.
- Do not bake the rhubarb crumble cake longer than necessary, so that it tastes moist and not dry. The indicated baking time may be different. Use a wooden skewer to check if the cake is done baking.
