mud cake

Mud cake has two distinct meanings.

In baking, it's a dense, rich chocolate cake with a fudgy texture: She made a Mississippi mud cake for his birthday.

In drilling, mud cake is the layer ofite solids that forms on the walls of a borehole when drilling fluid filters into the surrounding rock—a crucial barrier that prevents fluid loss and stabilizes the well.
