Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Select firm, bright red stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are wilted, bruised, or have black spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the kuchen will taste. Use real butter, eggs, and milk, and avoid using margarine or artificial sweeteners.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the kuchen tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the kuchen until it is golden brown: The kuchen is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
