Notes on Different Meanings

The core meaning of 'bánh xốp' is a baked good characterized by a light, airy, and porous texture. The specific product it refers to depends on context: 1. When standing alone or with ice cream, it most commonly means a wafer. 2. When combined with other words (like 'kem'), or in a general baking context, it often refers to the cake base, i.e., sponge cake. The reference to 'muffin' or 'sablé' from other dictionaries highlights related baked goods that share a light, sometimes crumbly texture.
