MMM birthday cake! I'm with ya! In fact, if I weren't so broke I would go buy a cake and eat it in your name. But, pay day isn't til Thursday and I don't think Matt would let me buy a whole cake just to eat by myeslf what a pooey.

Once he eats his cake, it's gone. His hands are empty. He no longer has it. So the expression means that he wants two contradictory things; you can't have it both ways.

Wouldn't having a cake and eating it constitute eating the same cake twice at the same time?
Or consecutively?
Maybe you throw up, and eat the digested remains of said cake.
The mysteries this universe carries, oi vey.
