Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk the confectioners' sugar with 1 tablespoon water to form a thick but pourable glaze (add more water, if necessary).
Spread the glaze over the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
Sprinkle with the ginger and let set for 20 minutes before serving.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Pound Cake works really well with Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
