Is it a cake or a pie?

It's both!

One Philadelphia bakery dreamed up this ultimate fall dessert: pumpkin and apple pies baked in chocolate and vanilla cake, fused together and surrounded by buttercream icing.

If you refer to that dessert as a single entity ("it") then "it" is obviously cake since the pie portion of it is just a subset of the cakey entirety.

Also, that both looks and sounds absolutely revolting.

I was hoping that the description would say that the most exterior layer was in icecream cake.

Agreed, that is a cake with pie filling. Just in this cake "pie filling" means an actual pie and not pie-filling.

This dessert would have more of a cake-pie identity crisis if at least one of the components were cheesecake.

Cake is gross, particularly chocolate cake, so they seemingly just ruined two perfectly good pies. D:
