So according to Merriam Webster bread is: a usually baked and leavened food made of a mixture whose basic constituent is flour or meal

And cake is: A: a breadlike food made from a dough or batter that is usually fried or baked in small flat shapes and is often unleavened B: a sweet baked food made from a dough or thick batter usually containing flour and sugar and often shortening, eggs, and a raising agent (such as baking powder)

And yet some people don’t think that cake is bread.

What’s your opinion?

  • All words are made up, so if you would like to define cake as a bread then I see no problem with that personally.

    I am unsure if others would agree with you, but they might given specific context.

    Personally, I don’t care too much, all I know is that cake it delicious.

    P.S. There are definitely cakes that are not at all bread like though, like ice cream cake or cheese cake etc.
