It was very moist and dense, as far as texture goes, smooth and velvety and just about as perfect as it could have been. I think next time I'll use individual spices, though; it could have used more zing. However I wanted to make sure I had enough spices to make a last batch of ginger snaps. (I did what you suggested, adding more ginger and some black pepper, and oh my god. You were right on.)

Oh and also for a midnight snack last night I buttered up a few slices, sprinkled with cinnamon and toasted them and that was pretty damn tasty, too.
