"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I found this recipe and tried it this morning for a group of ladies. It was delicious and they loved it. Each took an extra piece home and one woman even wanted a slice to eat on her way up the hill.
I served it with orange, grapefruit, and tangerine segments, mixed nuts and of course hot coffee.
I added the sugared ginger for a little taste treat.
This is a very dense and satisfying cake that is even better if made the day before.
For the cake,I bought a bottle of ground cardamom for a grand total of $14.95 and when I checked the recipe before I made it I noticed that it called for "a pinch"....pretty expensive pinch. So I made it 1/4 tsp just to justify the $14.95.
