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

a cheesecake with any sort of additions automatically becomes not a cheesecake, but a whatever-weird-cake

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...)

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.

Cheesecake popsicles, btw, are delicious. Chocolate popsicles are pretty good, too.

Popsicles like carrots. Though I haven't tried the carrotcake popsicle yet.

I'd expect A but not be super shocked by B. nor would I turn it down. I would be startled at C and possibly not eat it.

Plain NY style cheesecake is the one true cheesecake. The addition of strawberries makes it inferior, though acceptable. Chocolate cheesecake is a travesty.
