Cake is a food produced through crafting which can be placed on a surface, giving the ability for any player to consume. Once it is placed, it cannot be recollected with the use of a Silk Touch pickaxe nor with Shears.
Description
Cake stands 1/4 lower than a regular block. It has white icing and a red cherry-like topping. It restores 
per use and has a total amount of seven uses. Cake does not drop when broken. Cake can't be eaten like other foods such as Cookies and Enchanted Apples; instead, it can only be eaten by clicking on it whilst it is placed. As of Minecraft 1.8, if one places a redstone comparator next to cake, one can get up to Redstone PL 14, 2 for each slice. This is used on 1.8 maps and minigames, and trolling on multiplayer with TNT. Cake can fill up 1 level of a Compost, and can be eaten by pandas when dropped.
Crafting
| Cake | ||
|---|---|---|
| Milk | Milk | Milk |
| Sugar | Egg | Sugar |
| Wheat | Wheat | Wheat |
Cake is made with an egg, three buckets of milk, two sugar, and three wheat. If a player eats a cake once, it will appear to be cut into thirds or sixths. Crafting a cake will award one with the achievement "The Lie" (it's usually required to earn the achievement "Time to Farm" first), which is a reference to the game, Portal.
