How to Get Cake
Craft a Cake from milk buckets, sugar, eggs, and wheat. Place it as a block and eat slices directly from it; unlike most food, it is not eaten from a carried stack.
- Prepare milk buckets, sugar, eggs, and wheat.
- Craft the Cake at a Crafting Table.
- Place it in a safe location, then use it to consume slices.
