In a nutshell, my childhood summers were Big Wheels and mosquito bites, white-trimmed shorts riding high above skinned knees, and tender, marshmallow-studded rhubarb cake. My mom's beloved cake is hard to top-but the essence of childhood is truly present in this stripped down summer dessert: tender and tart, crumbly and just a tiny touch sweet. Don't skip the generous scoops of ice cream right on top. Check all formalities for the night: pass the spoons and dig straight in.
