{{Quotation|'''GLaDOS'''|There really was a cake...|sound=GLaDOS_escape_01_death_nag01-1.wav}}

The promise of '''Cake''' is introduced by [[GLaDOS]] as an incentive for [[Chell]] to complete the [[test chambers]] in the original [[Portal]]. It is referenced in many of the [[Doug Rattmann|Rattmann's dens]] as ''a lie'', sparking the {{w|internet meme}} "The Cake is a lie". {{Spoiler|The Cake can be seen at the end of Portal in a room surrounded with ''waking'' [[Personality_core|Personality Cores]].}}

== Trivia ==
* The cake does not appear in ''[[Portal 2]]'' as it did in ''[[Portal]] 1'', Eric Wolpaw stated that it was removed because he and Valve were tired of the memes and had had enough of cake jokes.
* The cake slice icon shown on the neon panels throughout [[Test Chamber]]s in Portal appears in another Valve game, [http://store.steampowered.com/app/630 Alien Swarm], as the icon of the achievement "Perfect".
** The icon has also appeared on the [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Noise_Maker#Team_Fortress_Birthday TF Birthday Noise Maker] item's icon in ''Team Fortress 2'', with the cherry removed.
