cubula

== Latin == === Etymology === Possibly a diminutive from cubus m (“a mass, quantity; a cube”) +‎ -ulus (diminutive suffix). If so, however, the change in gender from the base noun is unexpected. The name could possibly be based on the cake having a cubical shape. This etymology is incomplete.
