What is a snack cake?

This was my first question when I saw the term “snack cake” on Instagram. I actually read up on what a snack cake should be defined as and found an article that debated the difference between a “snack cake” and a “snacking cake”… according to some, there is no difference. According to others, it has to do with the time of day the cake is baked. A “snack cake” is defined as a cake that is baked in the morning and eaten later on. A “snacking cake” is defined as a a cake that is baked and eaten in the afternoon. Honestly, none of this knowledge really mattered to me. The one thing I took out of my research is a snack cake was almost like a Texas sheet cake with little to no icing and could be picked up and eaten with your hands.
