Dry active yeast and yeast cakes are two different products, and they can be substituted for one another, but when it comes down to it, it's like the difference between potato flakes and whole potatoes. If you'd like a solution that avoids yeast altogether, you'll have to use a recipe that doesn't call for yeast.
The reason yeast is so important and unique is because when combined with monosaccharides, or simple sugars, it will break those sugars down, using it as energy in an attempt to multiply. This process is known as fermentation and plays a large role in the creation of many foods such as wine, beer, cheese and bread, among others.
Specifically, yeast in bread is first combined with sugar, and warm water, which provides an environment ideal for yeast growth. During the fermentation process which occurs mostly during the dough's rising time, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is one by-product of the process, and its creation causes the mass of gluten produced from the marriage of flour and water to be elevated in very small pockets, making for an airy baked good. The heat required to bake the bread also cooks off all of the alcohol produced in the fermentation process.
