What is the difference between a cake and a pie?

Answer 1

Well, a pie is made with pastry. Cakes, generally speaking, not. The only cake I know of which has pastry incorporated is a Napoleon cake.Cake is a pastry.Not to be mean ,because i don't have alot of info,but... how can you not know cake is a pastry?!Asked by Kylenater. The easiest way to answer this question is with this, a pie has a some sort of a crust, hence cheesecake being a pie, it has a crust. Cake is lacking crust unless it's left out too long, but at that point no one should be eating it.

Pies consists of crusts and fillings while cakes are cake and frosting. Cakes are generally lighter and fluffier while pies are heavier and focused mostly on a flaky crust and thick filling.

Answer 2

There is really no difference between pizza and pie because there actually IS a pizza-pie. The only differences between the two is that they come in different flavors. For example;Pizza Flavors: cheese, sausage, alfredo

Pie flavors: apple, pumpkin, cinnamon

It would be almost inedible if you were to make a 'cheese pie' or a 'cinnamon pizza', right?

Answer 3

An apple cake is made much like any cake, but part of the wet ingredients uses apples (typically you would grate the apple for the cake).

An apple pie uses pastry (bottom and top) along with sliced apples, spices, and only about 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour mixed together for the filling.
