While searching for the proper terms for this cake I started to realize that different places have different names for the same dessert and that the same name can mean different things in different places. Where I live, it's common to find a flat sponge cake with a raised edge in the produce section of a grocery store. It's meant to be covered in fresh fruit and a glaze. That's what this cake is suppose to be. Whatever you call it my family really likes it.
