"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:
This is Grandma Kramer's recipe - I always loved this cake except for the last time she made it she cooked it twice because she couldn't remember if she had baked it yet. We all had a good laugh over it. It was tough but it was still edible!
