I'm so sorry that this has been your experience. Your therapist response feels very rigid. She may be viewing your gesture (bringing a cake) through her own psychoanalytic training lens, but it would be nice if she could attempt to see it through your lens as well.
And sure, on some level it was your choice not to bake since then, but to deny that she had any influence in that process seems to negate the idea that the two of you obviously have a relationship. Even if it is a therapeutic relationship, I can't imagine that you don't reciprocally influence each other.
Ack, this just feels yucky all over. If I knew you IRL, I'd love to share some cake...
