Tips:
- Choose fresh rhubarb: Look for rhubarb stalks that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch pieces. If the rhubarb is very tart, you can sprinkle it with sugar and let it sit for 15 minutes before using.
- Use a combination of flours: All-purpose flour is the most common flour used in streusel cakes, but you can also add some whole wheat flour or oat flour to give the cake a more complex flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.
