Does cheescake have cheese in it?

Answer 1

It's called cake because it's made from a batter and baked, just as other types of cakes are. It's called "cheese" cake because it also contains cream cheese (a rather large amount), and some recipes also use ricotta cheese in addition to the cream cheese.

There are instant cheesecake mixes which don't require baking, but they are really just imitation cheesecakes, and nothing at all like the real, authentic, homemade, baked cheesecake. And, when prepared, they actually do resemble a pie more than a cake.

Answer 2
