Quinoa Flour Cake with Kumquats

I made this for Passover, but I will have to try it for my gluten free cousins, because it was really good! The quinoa flour made the cake much lighter with a smaller crumb than the average nut flour based Passover cake. Plus the it lent the cake a nice nutty flavor without being overpoweringly nutty.

I admit it was a bit plain without an topping. Luckily I had the candied kumquats. (That's a lie actually. It wasn't luck; this is what I made the kumquats for.) The sweet and tart kumquats, with their lovely syrup, complemented the nutty and delicate cake perfectly.
