The name has been applied to shortbread, shortbread made with brown sugar, biscuits and a cake similar to gingerbread.
And shortcake, surely?
Which makes me wonder: why is shortBREAD the sweet one, and shortCAKE not?

Jesse, it looks fuller. Not sure if it is weight, surgery or what. Her hair also looks heavier and more in her face.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Shortcake is neither short nor cake. Discuss.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Short cake is short.
Don't make me have to sic the pumpernickel on it.

At least my eyebrows still look good.
Shortcakes are cakes, like crabcakes are cakes. As well as being short.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
There's considerable debate about what short'nin' bread is
I've never read it as a specific recipe, but rather any of the class of short (i.e. made with fat) dough breads (which would include shortcake, shortbread and biscuits, but egg-based cakes like gingerbread are a stretch). Or, you know, cute regional pronunciation thereof.

There's a separate power supply? They totally cheated.
