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]].}} | The promise of '''Cake''' is introduced by [[GLaDOS]] as an incentive for [[Chell]] to complete the [[test chambers]] in the original [[Portal]].

== Portal == | |||
The cake is spoken of frequently throughout Portal. It is often mentioned through dialogue as well as [[Rattmann]]'s wall art in his dens. Although the dens frequently claim that the cake is in fact a lie, the ending of Portal shows the actual cake. | |||
=== Recipe === | |||
In addition to the simple mention of the Cake, an actual recipe is given. The recipe can be found on several computer screens after Chell's escape from death. Additionally, during the battle with GLaDOS, a core will recite the recipe for the Cake. The recipe often contains inedible or undesireable ingredients, such as "fish shaped ethyl benzene" or "cranial caps." | |||

The cake does not make any appearances in Portal, though is referenced once through a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxd7gdSt7dU#t=19m19s sticker on the fake door before GLaDOS takes Chell to her chamber], mentioning that she [[Media:GLaDOS fgbrvtrap02.wav|"...honestly, TRULY didn't think you'd fall for that."]] This contradicts the common notion that GLaDOS may have forgotten about the cake after the destruction of the Intelligence Core. | |||
