Answer

cheese in Chinese is  乳酪.
起司 , 起士 and 芝士 are all transliteral words from the pronunciation of cheese.

Answer

I think it depends on which area you want to use this word in...

乳酪蛋糕 , 起司蛋糕 , 起士蛋糕 - more like Taiwanese style

芝士蛋糕/芝士餅 - HK style

Even we all speak the same language (Chinese) - the Chinese translation of western names are quite different...hope this is helpful :)

Answer

乳酪蛋糕——traslate  cheese to chinese

起司蛋糕 , 起士蛋糕 and 芝士蛋糕 ——pronounce english word cheese in chinese， “ qisi  qishi  zhishi”

like you say 中国，china or zhongguo are all right

楼主对这个问题都这么认真，可见楼主是吃货，鉴定完毕。
