But yes, Cheesecake is a kind of suspension, structurally. What makes it keep shape is the setting of egg proteins that capture liquid, therefore keeping its pleasant texture that rides the line between solid and liquid. But it is not a solid.

Cake on the other hand is also held together by protein, but adds starch. It does not trap liquid, but instead the chemical leavening agents create tiny air bubbles that give cake its texture.

So really, cake and cheesecake/custard pie are dessert opposites. Pie is filled with delicious sauce and syrup, while cake is filled with hot air.
