  • Prepare Rhubarb Properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into small pieces about 1-inch in length.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: For the best results, use high-quality ingredients such as fresh eggs, real butter, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent it from spreading too much. This will result in a firmer, more stable crust.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixed batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the Meringue Properly: The meringue should be baked until it is golden brown and firm to the touch. This will ensure that it is cooked through and stable.
