"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Use half of a regular cake mix, because you want a flatter cake. If you want to use the whole cake mix, just bake part of the batter as cupcakes, or make two cakes. Use one now and save one for later. Or have your husband eat the entire second cake. Not that I'm saying that ever happened at my house, but, it could have.
This dessert was served at the first ever Walker family reunion in 1987 at Clear Lake, Iowa. Sarah was only 7 months old
