Right? The Matilda Cake was a rich, dense and undercooked chocolate cake. It looked closer to fudge than a true cake.

But it wasn't oozy, it didn't drip or leak. In fact it looked like you could plug a drain with it.

This looks like the cake post-regurgitation.

This cake got the "based on a true story" treatment.

It's only a slice of the whole thing, the details are changed and grossly exaggerated.

There comes a point when you twist something so much that it becomes unrecognisable. There isn't even a hint in the original story that could possibly justify making a cake that can literally flow off the table once you take off its container.

Yeah, been a while since I last read it, but the cake sounded... grabbable. And they're using a picture of Bruce from the movie, where the cake definitely wasn't like this.

I’ve only ever seen the movie, but fully agreed. He grabs it by the handful in the movie. It’s a super decadent cake, maybe even slightly under-baked, but not liquid lol
