"These cakes pack potent yet well-balanced, fragrant, spicy heat. If you are particularly sensitive to spice, you can decrease the amount of ground ginger to 1 tablespoon. Guinness is the test kitchen’s favorite brand of stout. Serve the gingerbread plain or with lightly sweetened whipped cream and caramel sauce...."
