Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

I think you all are crazy and reading the question wrong, as B is terribly wrong for anything resembling chocolate cake. A vanilla cake with chocolate frosting is not a chocolate cake. It's a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting.

A chocolate cake could have vanilla frosting, or pumpkin frosting. It's still a choclate cake, although a bit suspect. Also, a cheesecake with any sort of additions automatically becomes not a cheesecake, but a whatever-weird-cake. This includes graham cracker crusts. Just don't.

A vanilla cake with chocolate frosting is not a chocolate cake. It's a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting.

This is very true.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

B is the "cake that is chocolate" answer.

A is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, which is overkill for me.

You would probably not cry over C if it was the cake a friend makes, a six-layer (three layers split) yellow cake with cooked fudge frosting.

Chocolate cake is cake which is chocolate. Not yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Bah.

Pfeh. My Oreo cheesecake is still cheesecake because it has a solid pound of cream cheese in it. NOM. (I should make one of those...)

1B (with the modification that I agree with ita and frosting is not necessary

I would accept cake that is not chocolate but completely covered in chocolate as being called "chocolate cake" if I get the whole thing and it is in no way sliced so that the not-chocolate-part is not revealed. Although I might feel betrayed after putting a fork in it. But I might not! I am willing to undertake this experiment. For science.

Eta: I am entirely not a cheesecake purist. In my book, vegan pumpkin cheesecake is still cheesecake.

Chocolate cake with non-chocolate frosting obviously has self-worth issues. On the other hand, it could just be exploring its identity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A chocolate cake could have vanilla frosting, or pumpkin frosting. It's still a choclate cake

Isn't that B, though?

Cheesecake has to have cheese in it, though. I can't really cave on that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

B, but in my mind that also includes A. C IS TOTALLY WRONG.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Cheesecake has to have cheese in it, though. I can't really cave on that.

And yet, it needn't have cake. It's very confusing.
