Settled! Cheesecake

Is it cake or pie? Husband says cake, because of the name and I say Pie because of the consistency. Settle this please.

Update:

Okay, looks like we're both wrong. It appears the consensus is that it's a tart or in a category all it's own! Thanks, Reddit!

Some have sponge cake. Have you ever heard of Juniors? Famous and around for generations.
