Cake was bread historically

I think all other dough-based dishes derive from bread really, since I believe it’s the most basis dough recipe ye can make…

Nowadays, my definition of modern cake = bread + defined-sweetness + fluffiness and softness

My proof that cake was bread; look at pound cake, one of modern cake’s forerunners, and tell me no one thought and baked it, thinking “how about bread, but more deluxe?”
