If you want to say it isnt a pie, whatever, thats fine. Just call it some type of desert.....
But it is OBJECTIVELY NOT A CAKE!
It's called cheese cake
Cake
It fucking says cake
This just in a hot dog isn't a hot dog
It's a tube of mechanically separated meat and sodium inside a gluten shell topped with tomato gel
All other answers are wrong
I don't give a fuck what it's called... as someone who's been privy to this stupid debate in real life by actual people who know culinary arts... it doesn't remotely fit the definition of cake.
