Cake Recipe & Farming Guide
Last updated: May 2024 · 8 min read · Updated for v0.4 Sakurajima
Cake is the only item required for breeding in Palworld. Every single breed costs one Cake — and if you plan to breed for perfect passive skills across multiple generations, you'll need dozens. Setting up an automated Cake production chain is one of the best investments you can make.

🧬 Breeding RequirementCake is consumed every time you breed two Pals. You cannot start a breed without one in your Breeding Farm's inventory. Always keep at least 5-10 stocked up before starting a breeding session.
How to Farm Each Ingredient
🫐
Red Berries × 8
Berry Plantation · Watering + Planting Pals
Build a Berry Plantation and assign a Pal with Planting (like Lifmunk or Dinossom) and a Pal with Watering (like Pengullet). Red Berries grow and harvest automatically. Plant multiple plantations for faster output.
🥚
Egg × 8
Chikipi · Farming Lv1 passive drop
Assign 3-4 Chikipi to your base. They drop Eggs automatically over time. Chikipi are found everywhere near the starting area and are easy to catch in large numbers. More Chikipi = more eggs per hour.
🥛
Milk × 7
Mozzarina · Farming Lv2 passive drop
Keep 2-3 Mozzarina in your base. Milk is the hardest Cake ingredient to stockpile in large quantities, so having multiple Mozzarina is important for active breeding sessions. Found in grassy plains areas.
🌾
Flour × 5
Mill · Wheat Seeds → Wheat → Flour
Flour requires a two-step process: plant Wheat Seeds in a Wheat Plantation (unlocked at Tech Lv15), harvest the Wheat, then process it in a Mill into Flour. Assign a Handiwork Pal to run the Mill automatically.
🍯
Honey × 2
Beegarde · Farming Lv2 passive drop
Honey is the rarest Cake ingredient. Assign 2 Beegarde to your base — they produce Honey slowly but steadily. Beegarde is found in flower-heavy fields in mid-game regions. Don't start breeding until you have a Honey stockpile.
💡 Automate EverythingThe ideal Cake farm runs entirely on its own. Plantations grow crops, Farming Pals drop Eggs/Milk/Honey, a Mill processes Flour, and a Cooking Pal bakes Cake at the Cooking Pot automatically. Set it up once and Cakes will accumulate while you explore.
