Never heard of fried cake. In my native language that's sure a word not interchangeable with what I would translate cake to

No, but cheese is a kind of meat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fc_2BxVurM

Yes. Flour, water, heat. That's it. Tortillas are bread. Cake is bread. Crackers are bread.

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.

I’ve never make a cake from dough. I’ve always make cake from batter.

These comments could be part of an episode of Qi.

it's a doctrinal difference

also you could possibly look at something like gluten formation, but i suspect there's a gluteny cake out there as well as a glutenless bread

Rye bread looks like chocolate cake. So... is bread a sort of cake?

US bread taste like bread, it's soft and sugary.

I would turn it the other way breads are a sort of cake but more minimalist (water, flour, yeast, and a pinch of salt) and then there is some pimped bread which moves toward the cake, like when you add milk or even eggs

Not bread. Cake doesn't use yeast (leavened basically means using yeast). Bread does.

Cake uses eggs, bread doesn't.

Cake is expensive to buy or make. Bread isn't as bad.

I think we clearly know it's not bread. Back me up here someone. I'm the person being referred to in the OP btw.
