A pie cake is a type of dessert that combines elements of both pie and cake. It is typically made by combining a sweet cake batter with pie filling, such as apple, cherry or blueberry, and baking it in a pan. The final result is a dessert that has the moist, fluffy texture of a cake, with the sweet and fruity flavors of a pie. Some variations include using a pre-made pie crust as the base or topping the cake with a crumble or streusel. It is a versatile treat that can be served as a dessert, breakfast or brunch item. It can be decorated with powdered sugar or frosting and can be enjoyed warm or cold.
