yellow cake
Processed uranium ore
Yellow cake is a powdered uranium oxide concentrate, the processed form of uranium ore used as feedstock for nuclear fuel and weapons production.
The name comes from its color, though it can range from yellow to brown.
Yellow cake appears frequently in discussions of nuclear proliferation and international monitoring: The intelligence claimed Iraq was seeking yellow cake from Niger.
Separately, yellow cake is simply cake with a yellow-tinted batter, typically from egg yolks or food coloring.
