French translation:Mini cake / gâteau individuel
Explanation:
Mini cake / gâteau individuel

One or the other, depending on the recipe. Cakes in France are usually made in a square tin and can be savoury (not always!). It could also be "mini tarte" ou "tarte individuelle" if it's a pie, of course.

agree  Jocelyne Cuenin: tout à fait d'accord avec « cake » pour la forme "loaf" et, comme vous le dites, c'est aussi bien sucré que salé.

petite barre de gâteau


Explanation:
S'il s'agit de pâtisseries, vous pouvez employer "mignardises". Mais à mon avis il s'agit plutôt de gâteaux type barre de quatre quart.

petit pain (à —)


Explanation:
Les ressemblances entre 'pain' (comme 'pain aux épices' ou 'pain brioché') et le 'cake' (salué sans cesse dans certains secteurs de la presse) sont frappantes.

Un 'cake au pépites de chocolat', c'est un pain aux pépites de chocolat.

petite génoise


Explanation:
La génoise est la base simple de gâteaux, ayant les ingrédients essentiels d'œufs, de farine et de sucre.

Le français aime utiliser les adjectifs de lieux pour la gastronomie (par exemple 'viennoiserie').

Il suffit d'ajouter 'à —' pour exprimer la particularité de la génoise, comme 'génoise aux pistaches'.

Dans ce cas on dira 'petite génoise'.
