Where I'm from they are breadcakes. To people in Derby & Nottingham they are cobs, in West Yorkshire they are teacakes (teacakes are something very different in my book), Southerners call them rolls, and they are also known in other parts of the country as barmcakes, baps, stotties and a number of other terms.

People will get on their high horses about this as well, so you can get people who insist that they are teacakes or rolls and get very annoyed by all the other regional terms for breadcakes!
