In your humble opinion, do you believe that cheese cake is a cake? As much as I love the cheesy goodness of the substance, I cannot firmly say that I believe it fits in the cake category.
Cheese Cake: Cake?
It seems that it is a cake based solely on the name, but I too feel that it is more at home in the "pie" category. It reminds me a lot of pumpkin pie in texture and overall design, yet for some reason it's called a cake. This argument also seems to be the exact opposite of the hamburger discussion. A hamburger seems to have all the necessary elements to be a sandwich, but we don't call them sandwiches. A cheese cake seems to be very much a pie, but we call it a cake.
hmmm...
Without thought: it's a cake. It' s in the name!
However, with thought, it's a pie. It's a filling on a base. There is no soft, spongey cakey goodness.
So, it's a pie!
Yes it is cake, Jandurin would you mind explaining to me how it is pie?
It is a cake baked with cheese. There is no pie crust containing filling. It is a cake through and through.
Cake > Pie.
"It's a cake, no doubt in my mind.Not even a little doubt...I think you must hate cheese cake and that's why you call it a cake. Because cake is apparently a lie which would make cheese cake a lie and if cheese cake is a lie you'll never have to see it again. You are sneaky...I need to watch out for you!

"Cheese Cake is WAY too rich for my taste :|

There is ALOT of different Cheese cake varieties to choose from man. Some are pretty mild.
I'm going to blindly follow this definition:
Cake: A mass of matter concreted, congealed, or molded into aAnd call it a cake.
solid mass of any form, esp. into a form rather flat than
high; as, a cake of soap; an ague cake.[1913 Webster]
And by the same principle I could also claim that the slab of cement under my shed out the back is, in fact, also a cake...
And if anybody can tell me what an ague cake is... well, then I'd know, wouldn't I.
Cheesecake is delicious.
"It is neither a cake or a pie.have you ever made cheese cake? by this definition, it's definitely a cake.
Cake - A sweet baked food made of flour, liquid, eggs, and other ingredients, such as raising agents and flavorings.
Pie - An article of food consisting of paste baked with something in it or under it
Cheesecake is neither of these."
