Microwave or Toaster Oven Cake Baking
I recently moved to Japan, where my kitchen consists of one stove top burner, a microwave, and a toaster oven. I have managed to become quite adept at triaging most of my regular food cooking, but deeply miss the pleasure of baking a good cake. Does anyone know recipes or ways of baking in the aforementioned appliances? Will the result taste anything like a good oven-baked cake?

Toaster oven has "oven" right in the name.
You're mostly limited by the size pan you can fit in your particular toaster oven... but in college we did cookies, brownies and a lot of single layer square cakes.
All came out fine. (you may have more uneven heating than a regular oven, so rotating two or three times during baking helps).
Do a Google search on "Toaster Oven Cakes"... I found a lot of recipes.
