"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

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º grease and flour three 9"-inch pans.

Cream together sugar and Wesson oil. Add eggs and beat.

In a separate bowl, sift in the flour. Sift in to the flour baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix well.

Fold in carrots and nuts.

Pour into three 9"-inch pans. I use the three pans because it makes very thin layers - much like a torte. It can also be made into a 9 x 13"-inch pan. If using the one pan, you will only need half the amount of frosting.

Frosting:

Mix all together and heat slowly, beating til smooth.
