What is the difference between a cake and a shortcake?

While cakes and shortcakes are very similar. There are some different characteristics to each of them.

A shortcake, though, is basically a sweet biscuit that is made with cream or butter and is normally used as a base for desserts. Including strawberry shortcake. They are certainly both sweet and delicious, but they are different when it comes to texture and the ingredients that are used.
