Post #1 - April 15th, 2013, 1:40 pmHad the delicious chocolate muk muk cake at Prairie Grass on Saturday and got to wondering about the name--origin and meaning. Those we asked at the restaurant did not know. A Google search revealed only that muk is the Korean word for jelly and Muk Muk was the marmot mascot of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Canada. Hard to make a definitive connection there.
Hope I'm not displaying too much ignorance, but does anybody know the story?"Life is a combination of magic and pasta." -- Federico Fellini
"You're not going to like it in Chicago. The wind comes howling in from the lake. And there's practically no opera season at all--and the Lord only knows whether they've ever heard of lobster Newburg." --Charles Foster Kane, Citizen Kane.

Post #2 - May 19th, 2013, 10:45 pmIf you change your search to "muck muck cake," you get a lot more hits. One woman talks about her grandmother making it with her in Seattle some years back, so that gives you a time and a geographical area to start with, if you want to search further (http://sogoodandtasty.blogspot.com/2010 ... -muck.html).
It seems to be a pretty basic chocolate lava-type of thing... was that what you had?
