Not a cake - there is no flour in this delectable concoction.
Not a pie - is not baked or served in a pie dish.
Cheesecake is probably a custard - a custard is defined as a pudding-like mixture (usually sweetened) made with milk and eggs. Cheesecake filling has eggs, for sure, and has two ingredients derived from milk - cream cheese and sour cream. Custards are also often served without the baking dish (custard cups or ramekins) in which it was baked.
Creme brulee is an example of a custard served in its baking dish.
My wife makes a particularly good dark chocolate cake with orange marmalade. But, broadly, anything that doesn't have fake frosting, I'll give it a go. Actually even if it does have fake frosting.
I've developed a healthy respect for Scootie's diverse palate and how it differs so much from mine...yet, when speaking of cake, it all sounds delightful.

chocolate sheet cake for desert after big plate of BBQ chicken spaghetti washed down with Lone Star.
What time shall I be there, Coach Dykes?
Anything with fondant is an automatic no from me.

My daughter makes some great ones.
That picture is a good example for the axiom "Just because you can do something, even with great skill, that doesn't mean you should do it".

Good policy.
Good band. I saw them perform in Zellerbach Hall at some point in the late 2000s.
Seasonal: Strawberry season came early this year ... so it's strawberry shortcake time.
My mom made real shortcake when it was strawberry season. Yum.
Red velvet and burnt almond cake from Peter's in San Jose.
Have become an equal opportunity cake hound since giving up TitoтАЩs...chocolate, yellow, confetti, red velvet, carrot...GIMME
Chocolate, carrot, lemon, banana, GIMME. You can keep the yellow, confetti and red velvet, which all taste of ennui and nothingness.

Fantastic description, Scootie. Absolutely love it.

I respect this position. You and TBB are aligned on this matter.
This. I'll take all the cakes. Even carrot.
Exactly.
