Overview
Cake is a food item in the Food category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it and trading (Farmer). It cannot be stacked, so each Cake occupies a full inventory slot on its own. Eating it restores 14 hunger (7 drumsticks) and 2.8 saturation points.
Restoring 14 hunger and 2.8 saturation, Cake keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue; higher saturation means you stay full for longer before needing to eat again. Cake has a hardness of 0.5. For Cake the blast resistance is not separate: it is 0.5 as well. Generated chests only ever hold Cake in one place: trial chamber intersection chests (about 40%, 1 to 4 at a time).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get Cake in Minecraft?
Cake is crafted at a Crafting Table using Milk Bucket, Sugar, Egg, and Wheat. It can also be obtained through trading (Farmer).
What is Cake used for?
Cake is eaten to restore 14 hunger and 2.8 saturation, helping you keep your hunger bar full and regenerate health.
How many Cake can you stack?
Cake does not stack, so every one you carry costs its own slot and its own 3 Milk Bucket, 2 Sugar, 1 Egg, and 3 Wheat.
How long does Cake take to break?
Look up Cake and you get 0.5 hardness against 0.5 blast resistance. The pair being level means Cake has no hidden strength against explosives. Cake has no listed tool, so the choice of what you hold is yours. Nothing here was timed by hand; it is what Java 26.2 stores.
Where do you find Cake in chests?
Cake is chest loot in exactly one place: trial chamber intersection chests (about 40%, 1 to 4 at a time). No other generated chest in the game lists it, so that structure is the only place worth searching.
When was Cake added to Minecraft?
Cake was added in the 1.0 full release.
