Tip
Serve as is or as a desert cake with cream. This is a dense, moist cake that holds together well when cut. Toasted flaked almonds or candied cumquats would be good as decoration.
If you have a cumquat tree this is a great way to use extra cumquats after making marmalade jam, cumquats in brandy etc.

This has become one of my favourite cakes. I've made it with 650g or 500g of kumquats, with 4, 5, or 6 eggs, and with 100-110g of coconut sugar (that's enough sweetness for me, with or without syrup).
My added touch: drizzling dark chocolate on top or adding dark chocolate chips. Try it!
For the syrup you could also do the juice of an orange or lemon with 30g (50-60g for lemon) of sugar, 2 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 2.
