Use Cache:

To cache commonly used contents between users.
To cache frequently used data.
When you wants to speed up your site.

Use Session:

To store user specific data
Don't save high amount of data in session, it requires server resources and at end it speeds down the site.

Have a look at the ASP.NET State Management overview.

Session state is used for storing user specific data that you wish to have access to during the user's current session.

Cache is used for data you want to avoid fetching from a slower or more expensive data source. Usually the cached data is for many users or the system itself.
