A Bruce/Matilda cake is a reference to the rich, decadent chocolate cake featured in Roald Dahl's book, Matilda, and its film adaptations. In the story, the villainous headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, punishes a student named Bruce Bogtrotter by forcing him to eat an enormous chocolate cake in front of the entire school.
The cake itself is usually described as extremely large, rich, and moist, with a thick chocolate frosting. It's the kind of cake that would be a delightful treat in a normal situation but becomes a daunting challenge due to its sheer size in the context of Bruce's punishment.
A chocolate cake is never punishment 🤤
