Cake is one type of food that can be crafted and eaten in the game of Minecraft. It appears as a solid block (the only edible block so far in the game), consisting of a sponge base topped by icing and cherries.
Steps
Sourcing the Materials
-
1Get three buckets of milk. To get milk, right click on a cow while your character is holding a bucket.
-
2Get one chicken egg. These are laid by chickens, which can be found in the wilderness. You can also keep chickens if you capture them inside a fence.Advertisement
-
3Get two sugar. Sugar is made from sugarcane and can only be eaten when used as an ingredient in a recipe.
-
4Get three wheat. This acts as "flour" for the cake. Wheat can be farmed or it can be found in dungeon chests.
Crafting the Cake
-
1Place the ingredients into the crafting grid. The following pattern is required:
- Place three buckets of milk across the top three slots.
- Place one sugar to the left of the center slot, and one to the right.
- Place the egg in the center slot.
- Place the wheat in the remaining three bottom slots of the grid.
-
2Craft your cake. To remove to the inventory, shift click or drag. Three empty milk buckets will also be returned to your inventory automatically.
Eating the Cake
Each cake block contains six slices.
-
1Place the cake block down on another block. You cannot eat cake by holding the block.[1] You cannot place a cake where you're not able to build.
-
2Right click on the cake to eat a slice.
-
3Share your cake. It is possible to share slices of cake with other players if you want to because there are six slices in each cake block. Enjoy your Minecraft cake!

Warnings
- If you destroy a cake, you lose the cake and gain nothing, as nothing is dropped.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Partly eaten cake does not return to your inventory. To finish it, you'll have to come back to where you left it to keep eating it.⧼thumbs_response⧽
Easter eggs
- By naming a cake "Explosions" in an anvil, the cake will explode upon any player/entity taking a bite. This is a reference to the popular 1985 movie "Prank Calls".
