Not a proper birthday cake????

It's my husband's birthday this weekend and we're planning a BBQ. For the bday cake I was planning on making a strawberry cheesecake. When I mentioned this to him his words were: "that's not a birthday cake. It has to be a sponge cake to be a birthday one. Cheesecake sounds lovely though!"

Why? What? How?......... I got super puzzled. Is this a rule??

He obviously loves cheesecakes, I mean he'd eat anything that's in front of him but I was a little bit surprised on the "sponge cake rule". Is there really such thing? Grin

JeanGenie23 great description of the sponge cake, "dull".

It's very 70s to me also. There are so much nicer cakes!! And I bet many people do a sponge cake just for the sake of the"rule". They probably don't like it.
