No- KC8 (also known as "cake") is potassium-intercalated graphite. It is often used as a very powerful reducing agent in organometallic reactions. It is synthesized by melting potassium metal over graphite powder in an inert atmosphere and is highly pyrophoric.

Pure graphite = Carbon; the same as diamond - but the difference between the two is that in graphite, each C atom is conjoined to just two other C atoms, while in diamond each C is fully satisfied by bonding, in a spectacularly stable way, to three other C atoms.
