yeah cake! none of this cabbage ****. i want it to have icing and stuff

We have oil, eggs, water, flour, and sugar, that would make a very flat cake.

Time to make pancakes then, if we can't get some good ol' yeast.

You don't use yeast to make a cake. You use it to make bread (and thus the sourdough starter). You use backing soda (sodium bicarbonate and cream of tartar) to make cakes, breads, and pastries that you want to quickly rise.

There are a handful of cakes that do use yeast. Baba au rhum, I think, was the name of one. It's certainly less common, though.
