Noun

cake

1. a rich, sweet dessert food, typically made of flour, sugar, eggs, and baked in an oven. A gâteau or sponge cake includes a chemical leavening agent (e.g. baking powder), making it light and airy. The denser torte omits the leavening agent, and uses less flour and more eggs.
2. a block of solid material

   a cake of soap

3. (slang) a trivially easy task or responsibility; from "piece of cake"
