I was taking it to refer to just some amount of possessed cake regardless of its subdivisions, It doesnt strike me as odd to refer to food that way (same as how, if I made you a bunch of french fries, it wouldn’t be terribly unusual for me to ask “do you like it?” while referring to the meal, despite it being made up of many individual units).
I mean, you absolutely can, you just have to make two cakes
it refers to the one cake. “You can’t have a cake and eat another one” would be yours.
But I like your attitude! Can you make me two cakes? I’m totally not going to eat both of them (I am but don’t tell anyone)

True, without article (the or a), your reading totally makes sense
Two cakes? Not with this egg shortage.
