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!"{{Citation |title=George Carlin – Ice Box Man |url=https://genius.com/George-carlin-ice-box-man-lyrics |access-date=2022-07-27}} However, meatcake itself has occurred as a delicacy for quite some time before George Carlin.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}
