Shortcake

A Shortcake is a sweet food recovery item that recovers health in the Castlevania series. Its first appearance was as a food item for Maria in Rondo of Blood and later in The Dracula X Chronicles, and is a smaller portion of a Birthday Cake.

In Symphony of the Night, it gives you 11 HP, which is the smallest amount for any dessert, giving you one less point than a Tart. It gives you one more HP than a Chinese Bun, which gives the lowest food value for any Chinese bun. It is dropped by a Salem Witch.

The Shortcake is also found in Lament of Innocence (in the Anti-Soul Mysteries Lab) and in Curse of Darkness (dropped by a Wyvern), and is the only kind of pastry found in these games.
