'''Meatcake''', or meatloaf cake, is a cake or other [[dessert]] look-alike that is made with meat in a [[meatloaf]] style, and not a [[pastry]]. Layers of meatloaf, baked in cake pans, are commonly "frosted" with mashed potatoes in classic [[layer cake]] fashion.
The term is used in a sketch by [[comedian]] [[George Carlin]], in which he describes finding an unidentifiable item in the [[refrigerator]].  "Could be meat, could be cake....  It looks like... ''meatcake''!"<ref>{{Citation |title=George Carlin – Ice Box Man |url=https://genius.com/George-carlin-ice-box-man-lyrics |access-date=2022-07-27}}</ref>  However, meatcake itself has occurred as a delicacy for quite some time before George Carlin.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}
