If 'cake' necessarily entailed icing
you wouldn't have chosen it as your example.

If no-one had any significant experience of cakes without icing, the word 'cake' would necessarily entail icing.

That's what I'm saying.
But doesn't that seem weird and wrong?

No. Why?
Only because you choose something you know and then give it a "weird and wrong" definition.

If all blee consists of crawt and fleem, then blee without fleem is just crawt. Or fleemless blee.
