Cake in villager trading
Cake is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.
Cake is a prepared food item. Trading for it is often quicker than assembling the ingredients, especially for a steady supply. A crafting grid makes one from 3 × milk bucket, 2 × sugar, 1 × egg and 3 × wheat.

The 1 trade on this item was read out of the trade files Minecraft Java 26.2 ships in its own data, checked on against the item, both amounts and the use limit. Bedrock 1.26.30.5 is read as well, and where it disagrees the row says how. Which files, and what is not checked.
Your odds of finding Cake
Every villager listed below shows this trade: their tier draws its whole pool, so there is nothing to roll for. What is left to plan is throughput.
| Villager | Tier | Villagers with this offer | Rolls to see it | Most from one villager | After a cure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farmer | Expert | 100% (2 in 2)same in Bedrock | none, it is always there | 24 cake a day2 restocks a day | 1 emeraldwas 3, 2 off |
The chance is the draw size over the pool size in the game's own trade set file for that tier. The Bedrock line under it is the same sum on Bedrock's own table, which splits a tier into groups and draws out of each one separately, so the two editions often disagree. The day figure is the trade's use limit times the 2 restocks a villager is allowed per in-game day (Villager.allowedToRestock), so it is a ceiling and not an average: it assumes you are there for every restock. The cure column is 125 reputation times the trade's own multiplier, floored, and never takes a cost below one. Counted from the game's own draw sizes. How that check works.
Who trades Cake, and at what price
To buy Cake, visit a Farmer at the Expert tier (3 emeralds).
Is trading Cake worth it?
Cake sells for as little as 3 emeralds, from the Farmer at the Expert tier, and 4 of the other 7 cost less. The price is fixed rather than rolled, so a second Farmer will quote you exactly the same.

What 3 emeralds cost in goods
The Farmer at its expert tier asks 3 emeralds for a cake. 8 of the 72 villagers that pay emeralds, emptied out:
| A full slot of | To | Emeralds | Buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 oak boats | master Fisherman | 12 | 4 cakes |
| 48 melons | journeyman Farmer | 12 | 4 cakes |
| 48 scutes | expert Cleric | 12 | 4 cakes |
| 112 raw porkchops | novice Butcher | 16 | 5.3 cakes |
| 224 string | journeyman Fletcher | 16 | 5.3 cakes |
| 256 diorite | journeyman Mason | 16 | 5.3 cakes |
| 320 wheat | novice Farmer | 16 | 5.3 cakes |
| 360 flint | journeyman Toolsmith | 12 | 4 cakes |
3 oak boats against 90 flint for the same 3 emeralds, 30 times the carrying, and the shortest wait is the Butcher at 1.9 real minutes of shelf, gathering not counted.
How Cake trading works
Every cake offer here locks after 12 uses, and a villager restocks up to twice per Minecraft day, so one is good for 24 of these trades a day and no more.
The earliest cake shows up is the Farmer's Expert tier, level 4 of five, which a villager reaches at 150 trade experience. A freshly employed one is 3 tiers short of offering cake at all.
How long Cake takes in real time
12 cakes empty one slot at the Farmer, 2400 ticks (Villager.allowedToRestock) at 20 a second (TickRateManager) refill it 2 real minutes later, and the 24000-tick villager day (Timelines) holds 2 of those fills in 20 real minutes.
So one farmer moves 24 cakes against 72 emeralds a Minecraft day, a cake every 50 real seconds, 3.6 emeralds a real minute. 27 cakes take 3 fills across 2 Minecraft days, 2 minutes of it watching the farmer walk back to its composter.
Tips for trading Cake
- Clearing the shelf: one Farmer sells 12 cakes before it has to restock, 36 emeralds for the full slot.
- Where the emeralds come from: the same Farmer pays an emerald per 4 melons.
- Also on the Farmer's list: suspicious stew, golden carrot, glistering melon slice, wheat, potato, carrot.
