In theory, cake. Given more careful consideration, pie. Pie is much more versatile: sweet, savoury, hand-sized, ginormous, good hot or cold, can be topped and/or garnished with just about anything.
Cake, on the other hand, has been the subject of so many culinary abuses. Meatloaf cake with mashed potato icing and gravy drizzle is the most egregious offender I can think of offhand. There is nothing even remotely appetizing about that. And how are you going to serve that? Hot? Room temp? Cold?
@shaunduke I have Strong Opinions on baked goods. ^_^;;
@felyn That is a very elaborate answer :D
