Tartine Zucchini Marmalade Cake, with some twists
Success! Now I know; the toaster oven is more than adequate for baking loaf cakes, and the bake time landed smack in the middle of what was recommended by the cookbook. I know some people will balk at leaving appliances on while they're not at home, but to me this means I can set the toaster oven and leave the house because it will shut off immediately. Alternatively, if I'm home but completely space out and forget something's in the oven, it won't burn.
The taste test? Excellent. Everything a breakfast cake should be: moist, not too sweet, and full of a few healthy ingredients. In this case, there are eggs, zucchini, carrots, and walnuts. Bitter orange marmalade, cinnamon, and cardamom provide flavor. I wish there were less sugar and oil, but such is the nature of baking if you want bakery-worthy texture. My coffee's ready now, but if anyone's interested leave a note and I'll post the recipe later.

What kind of toaster oven do you have? I need a new and yours sounds like what I've been looking for.

I will post the recipe later.
As for the toaster oven, I have a four year old $20 white Oster from Bed Bath and Beyond. I've seen it at Target and Walmart too, though it might be closer to $30 now. Seriously, it's not fancy, and you can get 20% off with those BBB coupons that come in the mail.
