Description
The term “cake” has a long history. The word itself is of Viking origin, from the Old Norse word “kaka”.[2]
Although clear examples of the difference between cake and bread are easy to find, the precise classification has always been elusive.[3] For example, banana bread may be properly considered either a quick bread or a cake.
Early cakes in England were also essentially bread: the most obvious differences between a “cake” and “bread” were the round, flat shape of the cakes, and the cooking method, which turned cakes over once while cooking, while bread was left upright throughout the baking process.[3]
