"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

A personal favorite of the family and friends especially grandkids and great grandkids. I’ve been making this for four generations ( 70 years ). I’ve probably made over 1,000 pound cakes over the tears, sending them through the mail to grandkids and great grandkids to home and colleges. THE MOST REQUESTED ITEM EVER !
