Cake

Cake is a food block that can be eaten by the player.

Obtaining
Once the cake is placed, it cannot be recollected even with the use of Silk Touch.

Trading
Farmer villagers trade 1 cake for 1 emerald as a fourth tier trade.

Expert-level Farmer villagers have a 50% chance to sell a cake for an emerald and a 50% chance to sell one for 8 emeralds.

Usage
Unlike most food, cake cannot be eaten as an item in the hotbar. Before being eaten, it must first be placed on top of a block.

To eat from a placed cake, click on the cake with button. Each cake has seven "slices", and each use will consume one slice. A single slice restores hunger and 0.4 hunger saturation. Eating all seven slices of a cake restores hunger and 2.8 hunger saturation.

Since eating a cake comes with no animation, cake can be eaten at a rate of one slice per tick. Multiple players can eat from the same cake at the same time. Unlike other foods, eating cake makes no sound.

As a redstone component, when connected to a comparator, a whole cake emits a signal strength of 14. The signal strength decreases two units with each slice.

Pandas
Pandas will move towards a dropped item of cake, will pick it up and eat it.

Composting
Placing a cake into a composter will raise the compost level by 1.

Block data
In Bedrock Edition, cake uses the following data values:

Interaction

 * Since cake is only 7/8 blocks wide, it is possible to stand on the edge of a block beneath a cake.
 * Cake will destroy falling blocks if placed under them, similar to a torch.
 * It is possible to place cake on top of cake by placing a cake on the ground, then placing another cake on the side of a block above and to the side of the first cake, similar to placing torches on a chest. Eating the lower cake completely will cause the upper cake to disappear, same as mining out the block of cake it is sitting on.
 * It is also possible to place cakes (or any other block) on top of cakes by sneaking and placing a cake on top of another cake
 * Mobs on top will rotate while attempting to move, a pathfinding oversight shared with fences.
 * If cake is placed in a one deep hole you can get across the hole without jumping but if you are standing on the cake you will have to jump to get out of the hole unlike a slab.
 * Cake can be used to create a functioning staircase, by placing a cake on each level of a 1 block by 1 block incline. This would be one of the most labor intensive staircases available, given the requirements to craft a cake, compared to all other possible methods for creating a staircase.

Miscellaneous

 * Cake was added to Minecraft following the ModDB 2010 Indie of the Year Awards. Notch agreed to add cake to Minecraft if it won, which led to a campaign called "The Quest For Cake". Minecraft won 3 of the 7 awards, including the "Indie of the Year" award.
 * Placing a cake makes the same sound as placing wool.
 * The player can place cake on top of a bed, and while sleeping, the cake shows on your screen as if it were on top of your head.
 * The name of the achievement is a reference to the internet meme "The Cake is a Lie", which originated from Valve's game, Portal.
