Alfajor cake, Argentinian style

This cake is delicious, moist and rich. This recipe is from En guete! Kako's blog.  I did double the recipe suggested by Kako and assemble a cake of 23 cm (9") in diameter, I think it's for 16 people with generous chunks. All that would do differently next time is to coat the cake with a ganache (chocolate cream) instead of solid chocolate because it is quite difficult to cut the chocolate and it breaks.
The alfajores argentinos are very famous and they really deserve it, very popular en Chile also, I really like better doing this cake version is a lot of less work and with stunning results.
