Gur cake is a pastry confection traditionally associated with Dublin, Ireland.

[1] Known as chester cake in other areas of Ireland and elsewhere,[2] and gudge or donkey's gudge in Cork,[3][4] it is similar to what is termed flies graveyard in parts of the UK, and consists of a thick layer of filling between two thin layers of pastry.

[5] The filling is a dark brown paste, containing a mixture of cake/bread crumbs, dried fruits (sultana raisins etc.

[7] In bakeries, it is typically sold cut into squares of about 8 by 3 cm (3.1 by 1.2 in) thick.

In Dublin, Gur cake is regarded as symbolic of working-class areas, being highlighted in books such as Gur Cake and Coal Blocks (1976) by historian Éamonn Mac Thomáis.
