It may just be the best cake I've ever eaten. Seriously, I had a hard time shooting a picture of it because I wanted to eat the whole thing right then and there.  This is THE most tender cake I have ever had.I was asked to make the treat for a family party we were putting together and I gladly accepted. I have been wanting to experiment and create the best gluten-free recipe. I was very happy with the results and so was everyone who ate it. It was the hit of the party and no one cared that it was gluten-free or made from quinoa flour.I can't taste the quinoa flour in this recipe because the cinnamon masks it so well. You could make it for breakfast, but I'm not the type of person to think regular cinnamon rolls are a suitable breakfast, so it's hard for me to want to recommend cake for breakfast. But, it doesn't seem any less healthy to me than regular cinnamon rolls.I thought that instead of rolls but making it in the form of a cake was a brilliant idea! This way a large piece can be cut or a small one depending on diet\/preference. \ud83d\ude42 If you want it to \"look\" more like a cinnamon roll you can take a glass or anything round and push it down into the cake to cut it after baking it.  Doing it this way cuts out all the rolling and rising too!This is so much easier and faster than traditional cinnamon rolls. I'm the kind of mom that's never going to make regular cinnamon rolls. That's just way too much work for me, so this is a compromise I'm willing to accept. I hope you enjoy the best gluten-free cinnamon cake recipe ever.Do you like cakes when they are hot or cold more?
