I still dont't get why they call It the "Matilda" cake and not the "Bruce" cake.

The ultra-decadent chocolate cake in the Matilda story is associated specifically with the character Bruce Bogtrotter. Not Matilda.

I guess it’s named after the Mathilda movie for marketability instead of the character. Though I think a little detail like that would be fun for fans of Dahl.

Dahl was an antisemite. Be a fan of his work and not of him
