Many years ago, cookies were sometimes called “little cakes.” This updated version is soft and spicy, with an extra flavor boost from crystalllized ginger and cardamom. If you don’t have cardamom on hand, you can substitute either a 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice or nutmeg. You can also use the rim of a 2 1/2 inch glass to cut the cookies.

I don’t think you’ll find a stronger marriage than Kahlua and chocolate, and this spectacular layer cake proves that point in just one bite. This deep dark cake is for adult palates, and it makes perfect dinner party fare. Should you want to temper its flavor a bit, reduce the Kahlua to 1/2 cup and increase the buttermilk to 1 cup. Serve freshly made with a steaming cup of coffee.
