White Forest Cake

According to Wikipedia, the term "cake" has a long history. The word itself is of Viking origin, from the Old Norse word "kaka". Although clear examples of the difference between cake and bread are easy to find, the precise classification has always been elusive. For example, banana bread may be properly considered either a quick bread or a cake. The Greeks invented beer as a leavener, frying fritters in olive oil, and cheesecakes using goat's milk. In ancient Rome, basic bread dough was sometimes enriched with butter, eggs, and honey, which produced a sweet and cake-like baked good. Latin poet Ovid refers to the birthday of him and his brother with party and cake in his first book of exile, Tristia.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.Sponge cakes, leavened with beaten eggs, originated during the Renaissance, possibly in Spain.

According to The Free Dictionary, gateau means a cake or pastry, especially a light one filled with custard, fruit, or nuts.
