Espresso Gingerbread Cake RecipeThe Santa Ana winds were gusting Sunday night,  and just as I had predicted, the power went out.  Likely to find myself in the dark before the evening was over, I had lit candles throughout the house and tucked a small flashlight nearby.  As anticipated, the lights flickered on and off as the power supplied to our neighborhood gave way to mother nature’s will.
