Shape should not dictate being.
So a muffin, whatever it's shape, if it still taste like a muffin, is a muffin.
But its just an OVERSIZED muffin
Is that like saying boobs arent boobs cause they are TOO BIG?

Like the old saying goes: "If there's grass on the field, play ball!"
I'm gonna say this about this muffin/cake thing: "If it looks and smells good, Eat it!" 
Thank you, have a great day! 
I say it would still be a muffin, hence the ingredients. Take it out of the cake pan, and cut them in pieaces.. it's muffin cut up.
Muffins
These days when we think of muffins, we tend to think of the American version, usually blueberry, bran or any number of sugar and fruit combinations. They seem to be everywhere � the supermarket, the coffee house, the corner shop. And with good reason. These quirky little cakes are the perfect quick breakfast, �elevenses� treat or four o�clock teatime snack. Add a green salad or soup to a savoury muffin and you have a light lunch or starter.
The term muffin is thought to have come from an old French word �moufflet�, meaning �soft� when referring to bread. There are references to English muffins as early as 1747 when the first recipes appeared in print, but they enjoyed most of their popularity during the nineteenth century. In the Victorian era, muffin men would carry trays of muffins balanced on their heads through the streets at teatime, ringing a handbell to draw attention to their wares. The modern English muffin is made from a yeast dough containing milk and butter. It is cooked on a griddle or hotplate, which gives it a flat top and bottom. They are usually quite plain and rely on fresh butter and jam for flavour. Not so their brash American cousins.
The American Muffin:
No one is exactly sure when the muffin migrated across the Atlantic, but there is no doubt it went through its share of changes in doing so. Most of the American-style muffins are a type of �quick bread�, which means their main raising agent is baking powder or bicarbonate of soda, and they are cooked in the oven instead of on a griddle. They�re really more like small cakes, but usually not as sweet. Muffin tins come in a variety of sizes, but the standard size has 6 or 12 cup-shaped depressions, each about 6cm/2 � in diameter and about the same in depth. Smaller muffin tins, sometimes called �gem pans� make smaller, bite-size muffins which work well as accompaniments to soup or in place of bread rolls.
Commercially available muffins are usually sweet and contain fruit, nuts, even chocolate, but if you�re making some at home, try a savoury version instead. You don�t have to stick to plain white flour � wholemeal, buckwheat, besan (or gram) flour, bran and cornmeal (or polenta) can all be used for baking muffins. What you add next will give the muffin its character � grated or crumbled cheese, bacon or bits of sausage, finely diced or grated vegetables like courgettes, carrots, onions, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, sweetcorn, olives, herbs and spices � the possibilities are endless.
Hypothetically, if I were to set out to make the world's largest muffin for the Guiness Book of Records, once I surpass "small" no one will consider my creation a muffin? Even if I used the exact same ingredients and cooking techniques I would use in a regular sized muffin.

MUFFIN CAKE.... hahahahhahahahahhahhahaah...
how bout, muffinloafcakepiebakedflourshit.....
i would call it.. a muffin n0000000bs....
the person with the biggest post count wins..
ok, this whole size and shape thing....
if you put cupcake mix in a pan insead of a muffin pan you get plain old cake, but the size and shape of the cake determines wether it is a cup cake or not. so when you take the batter out of the muffin pan, you must subtract 3 letters from the name of whatever you are cooking (cup cake - muffin pan = cake) see you just loose three letters. so by applying this simple formula to the question at hand we get:
Muffins - Muffin pan=
MUFF!!!
yes thats right its MUFF!, its smells good and tastes even better! so lick it, play with it, bite it, chew it, or however you wanna eat your muff, cuz muff is good!
hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah....
well theoretically in order to be a muffin it HAS to be in a muffin pan, but why? Who thought of that? Just because someone one day passed this off and it continued down a chain really doesn't mean that it does or it doesn't consider as a muffin.
if you're using the mix but not the "correct" pan does not make it anyless of a muffin...whoever said muffins had to be in specific pans, society has. LOL
Oh god I think I went all Matrix on this. 
There is no spoon.
This is getting rediculous!! Leann, let the DrD explain this one...
First, let me respond to the posts. DA, inhaling tobacco is definitely something you shouldn't do . Phil, great point, and I also agree about the shape factor. "...and the Brain-Brain, Brain-Brain, brain-brain...." LOL!! Nurse Ratchet... C'mon Cynthia, don't act elementary- cornbread is made with corn, that one is easily understood, not b/c of the crumbles. Being crumbly is a function of how much binding agent is used (eggs). El Profesor, I like the lesson plan, and I appreciate the mentioning of the English muffin, brings up an interesting dilemna with my argument... perhaps their use of the word muffin is just a difference in dialect. Scott, size is relative, muffin is still a muffin, I agree.
On the issue at hand, normally I'd say you're right, after all a woman should listen to her man, but Leann has you on this one. It would make a cake!! A muffin, like a cupcake (muffin with icing on it), always has a crinkled paper wrapper around the bottom, and EVERY MUFFIN HAS A MUFFIN TOP!
The lesson here: If you have English muffin batter made, don't bake it into a cake.

...And Greg, your ladies are going down Sunday. No question. The question is, how much money do you want to give to me, after you lose the bet.
LOL!!!!
according to dictionary.com (although trancexposure brought this up)
this is another meaning:
[Possibly from Low German Muffen, pl. of Muffe, ->small cake<-, from Middle Low German.]
small cake people...so if you were to put muffin mix in a cake pan it would be either a muffin bread loaf or a muffin cake...enlarged.
What makes a muffin a muffin is the mix...not the pan.
the only reason people think otherwise is because they were brought up with the idea that everything is how it is because it's how it's always been...erm no though. Not true. If there were to be no specific pan for a muffin you guys would think a muffin would come in any shape/size as cookies do...cookie cutters take the shape from the cookies when supposedly cookies are round...but they differ because of cutters and blah blah...so can muffins...
therefore...MUFFIN.

Yea, I heard they're not mowing the grass, either. That just means more grass stains. I think the turf theory is ignorant, honestly. The weather isn't biased, it'll affect both teams the same. So, how much did you say?
