Radiokaka
I would leave this as is, but then with a note describing it. There is no English. It's something like a Rice Crispie bar. There are recipes online for it.

ice chocolate cake
This is a very special cake, which got it's name (according to my cookbook) from the resemblance with the loudspeakers on an old radio). The ingredients are coconut butter oil (250 g), eggs (2), cocoa (1 dl) icing sugar (2,5 dl) and long or round biscuits.
When you melt chocolate and coconut butter it is called "ice chocolate" so that would be a suitable name for it :-)

: While this is an accurate description of just what it is, it is not a "cake" in the pure sense of the word. By just reading "ice chocolate cake" I would think of something entirely unlike what a radiokaka actually is.

Well, I do not agree. The dish is served as a cake, so even if it is a "cold cake" I think it deserves to be called a cake. In my cookbooks it is listed as a cake. It all depends on where the word wil be used what is best - to leave the name or translate
