What is Bread Anyway? Banana Cake vs Banana Bread Compared - Two for One

Описание: To me banana bread is cake. There is no gluten, and it contains far more butter, eggs, and sugar than any bread I’ve ever made. So, I call it banana cake not bread. Also, it is leavened with baking powder and not yeast.

I’m not sure what the actual definition of bread is, and I’ve tried to figure out at which point it becomes cake, but it seems that it’s a fluid border. Breads can be sweetened and contain eggs and fats, but still be glutenous and not have a crumbly interior. Breads can also be gluten free or made with wheat alternatives and use methods like cake making does. And they can be leavened with baking soda or baking powder too.

Some purists will of course say that it’s only bread if it contains flour, water, yeast, salt, and oil with some exceptions. I don’t believe in that. If it contains a large proportion of sugar, eggs, and fat (upwards of 50% in baker’s percentage terms). If it is not leavened with yeast and if it has no gluten, then it’s definitely cake. Let me know what your definition is!
