    Had 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?

    If 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?

    Good luck!
