Shortbread is similar to shortcake, but is made using vegetable fat rather than butter, giving it a different texture. Shortbread is a type of biscuit (cookie) made of one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three parts plain white flour, although other ingredients like ground rice or cornflour are sometimes added to alter the texture.
Shortcake is a sweet biscuit (in the American sense: that is, a crumbly, baking soda- or baking powder-leavened bread), and a dessert made with that biscuit, typically made with flour, sugar, baking powder or soda, salt, butter, milk or cream, and sometimes eggs. Of course, you can add fruits to your shortcake if you like, but the aforementioned ingredients are what make it a shortcake.
