Where to Find Cake
Cake is associated with All Overworld biomes (crafting), and that is the whole map for Cake. Milk comes from right-clicking Cows or Mooshrooms with an empty bucket. Sugar is crafted from Sugar Cane, which grows near water on sand, dirt, or grass. Cake does not spawn naturally in the world or generate in chests as standard loot: it is something you make at a Crafting Table, so the practical question is where to gather its ingredients rather than where to find the finished item.

Best Way to Get Cake
Milk Bucket, Sugar, Egg, and Wheat on a Crafting Table makes Cake, and repeating that beats any search, because the 4 ingredients are renewable and so is Cake. Before you can craft Cake, gather what goes into it: Milk Bucket (use an empty bucket on a cow), Sugar (craft from sugar cane), Egg (collect eggs that chickens lay every few minutes), and Wheat (harvest fully grown wheat crops on farmland). Cake is placed as a block and eaten in 7 slices, restoring 2 hunger per slice (14 total). Useful in redstone contraptions as a Comparator power source (outputs signal based on remaining slices). Cake never stacks, which is what makes a shulker box worth carrying on the trip: 27 slots, 27 of them, nothing doubled up, and no sorting to do when you get home. Since the original 1.0 release the game has kept Cake as it is, which is why this guide holds on every current server without a version footnote. As a food source, Cake is worth setting up a renewable supply of so you are never caught with an empty hunger bar far from home.

View the Cake item pageGetting Cake in practice
A cake takes three milk buckets, two sugar, one egg and three wheat, so it is a farm project rather than a snack. It has to be placed to be eaten, and it feeds seven slices, which is why it turns up in bases with several players rather than in a solo inventory.
What to watch out for with Cake
Cake needs three milk, which means three buckets, and that is nine iron before a single egg is involved. Once placed it cannot be picked up again, so a cake belongs in a base rather than in an inventory, and it feeds several players at a table where a stack of bread would not.
