dry cake
Crumbly, moistureless bake
Dry cake is cake that lacks moisture—crumbly, difficult to swallow, the kind that makes you reach for a glass of milk.
The phrase usually appears as criticism of baking gone wrong: The cake looked beautiful but turned out dry.
It can describe cake left out too long or simply poorly made.
Figuratively, anything disappointing despite attractive presentation might be called dry cake.
