In the 1990s when muffins were a craze in the USA my neighbor, a vegan food scientist, kept wondering how anyone thought cake was acceptable for breakfast. I never thought of it as cake until I made a batch and then made a cake and realized they were essentially identical processes.

I consider all junkfood a type of cake, so I only eat junkfood as often as I would eat cake, which is sadly too often.

Deep fried cake covered in sugar is the quintessential American breakfast food.

But what if we flatten the cake and fry it in butter instead of baking it? Surely that would be healthy, right?

Hang on. It's a little bland. I'd better pile more butter and liquified sugar on top.

It's perfect. Sweet, savory, pan fried cake.

Panfriedcake. That's what we'll call it

If you can digest it then it's food, the chemical furnace demands more fuel.
