have just made a cake/slice recipe, but it is very crumbly.can anyone tell me if that means it needs more butter please! it only had 90g which i thought wasn't much, but then it had one egg and 1/3 cup of milk too

4 cups of flour, 1 cup of cocoa, was too much for the 1 egg ,90 grams of butter and 1/3 rd of a cup of milk.

What's in the rest of the recipe, then we may be able to make some suggestions.
