Answer 9

Pie. I suppose pie and cake are similar enough that you could really call it either, but the way I've seen it is, as someone else said, built like a pie. It has a pie crust and a filling. So, I say it is a pie, even if the name indicates it being a cake. Mmm, I could go for some cheesecake right about now.
