Finnish

Noun

kuivakakku

1. A type of non-layered dry cake, often but not necessarily a bundt cake.

Usage notes

• In Finnish, cakes are usually named according to their ingredients, not their shape. The term kuivakakku however refers to the texture of the cake, and such cakes are often baked in a bundt pan (which has given the English name to the bundt cake), but also a straight mould may be used. A kuivakakku may also be called maustekakku, tiikerikakku, sokerikakku, sitruunakakku, and even hiekkakakku depending on its taste or appearance.

Declension

Rarely, both parts of the word are declined:
