It's technically a quick bread. Unlike breads, quickbreads like banana bread generally use baking powder instead of yeast. Cakes use some kind of flour, a sweetening agent, a binding agent (generally egg), fats (usually butter or margarine), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), and a levener.

Because you bake it in the shape of a loaf of bread, perhaps? But your right it should be called Banana Pound Cake or something.

Banana bread is made in a loaf and generally is extra moist than banana cake which has the consistancy of a fluffier lighter texture than the bread. The bread is extra handy to diminish because of the fact the feel enables it stay mutually because of the fact it has extra oil in it than the cake at the same time as the cake is the consistancy of the different form of cake.

Because it is bread, what are you talking about? There is such thing as banana bread and banana cake. Maybe you have not tried the banana bread before? It is really, really good and it is in a loaf, just like bread, the cake has frosting on it.
