mud cake
Mud cake has two distinct usages.
Definitions
Mud cake has two distinct usages. In general usage it refers to a Mississippi mud pie — a dense, fudgy chocolate dessert. In Australian usage 'mud cake' (or 'chocolate mud cake') specifically denotes a rich, moist, very dense chocolate cake, typically with a ganache coating, that is a staple of Australian bakeries and home baking. The Australian usage is the more specific and culturally embedded of the two. In both cases the 'mud' refers to the dark, dense, slightly gooey texture of the cake.
She picked up a mud cake from the bakery on the way to the office and it was gone before lunch.
