Please send your suggestions for Best cakes and Worst cakes in order to compile the definitive list. This was started some time ago by me but left to fester.
Some people say a cake is a sweet baked product which goes hard when stale and a biscuit is a sweet baked product which turns soft when it goes stale. This applies to Jaffa Cakes I think which are classed as cakes not biscuits which makes a difference to the VAT charged on them in the UK.

An addendum,
Shortcake - seems to be cheap/nasty shortbread.
Normally cake > bread, but in this case something has gone wrong.
Anyone willing to defend shortcake?
Will need to digest these suggestions before putting the top 10 (perhaps a top 40 is required).
Scotmid certainly not being cast in a good light by this contributor. I used to get buns at school which were just rolls with icing sugar on them. Don´t know where the inspiration for "caramel buns" came from then.
"Current cakes de jour are welsh cakes, almond fingers (cake like), Dundee-type heavy fruit cake to accompany tea, and the stalwart, bakewell tart." from vet.
