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?

    Maybe yeast is the thing?

    In which case, cake isn’t bread.

    And also bread isn’t bread, it’s just a really thick beer.

    But it doesn’t have alcohol, so you’d need to add sugar.

    Then beer is cake.
