I recall questioning my mom on this when I was a youngster
Boston cream pie was one of my favs.
One batch would make two short cakes instead of a tall layered cake. That's why they are called pie instead of cake. That's what my mom told me. She was probably just making that up to get me to stop asking questions.
No. Pecan pie is made with corn syrup and the pecans all mixed together.
