Not really, I don't think... although certain types of 'cake' [FR meaning] are indeed referred to as 'bread' or 'loaf' in EN (cf. tea loaf, date and walnut loaf, etc.), the fact that the source term is the specific collocation 'bread item' rather tends to rule out that particular meaning here.
bread c'est aussi des gateaux , banana bread , ce n'est pas un pain aux bananes , mais un cake , alors un peu de texte pourrait nous "éclair"er ( au chocolat)
