2. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
3. 3. In a small dish, dissolve espresso powder in Kahlua; set aside.

8. If you don't have Kahlua, you can substitute any other coffee-flavored liqueur. If you don't wish to add Kahlua at all, just leave it out.
