Well to me it's a teacake, but apparently in other parts of South Yorkshire they have currents in. So I now have to say bread cake.

It's a pony or a shape round here. Definitely nothing bread related. I'm in 'bun' or 'butty' country

'cob shaped' is like a hazelnut or a rounded knobbly stone

A bread roll, a cob on or a corn cob.
