Indonesian Mud Cake (Kue Lumpur)

If American has Mississippi Mud cake, then Indonesian has our own mud cake. This is not my too favorite traditional cake actually. For me the taste is nice but boring. Don't know why they called it that way (maybe originally the texture of the center cake should be still a little bit creamy like mud ??)
I made them last night, only to try the new mud cake mould I bought at Pasar Beringharjo, Yogyakarta. And also because they're quite simple to make although still having trouble with my new stand mixer.
The result is quite satisfying though I couldn't take another one to eat,... one mud cake is enough for me, two would be too much.
