Mmm, I think that's right. Maybe it's 'puddings' that are boiled or steamed, and cake is baked. But it's confusing because different areas have different ideas about what 'pudding' is. Compared to American 'pudding', which is like purin, English pudding is very much more like cake.

I think in England a 'pudding' usually refers to a dessert that has something inside it. As opposed to a cake which is layered, a pudding would be whole, but have 1 or more different ingredients inside it.
Don't really know though i'd just assume that...
I know it can refer to a few different things in in England alone so it's hard to define exactly what things mean sometimes.
Being from the North East, i call many things different names to people from different areas of the country. I don't mean slang either, just normal everyday items.
I remember being down in Yorkshire and asked for a sandwich. They said do you want bread or a bap? I asked what the hell a 'bap' was and nobody could believe i'd never heard the word before.
I call it a 'bun', always have. others call them 'rolls'. It's so annoying!!! lol
