What’s easier than cooking a simple cake, or buying a piece of cake at the bakery? Unfortunately, not many things…
That’s why we use the expression “C’est du gâteau” when talking about something very simple, easy or obvious. This expression is basically a more informal and funny way to say to someone “It’s super simple“.
When you want to express the idea of “It’s super easy” in French, you can go with the classic ways like “C’est très facile” (It’s super easy) or “C’est vraiment simple” (It’s really simple) for neutral or formal situations.
But if you want to make it funnier in informal situations, you can use instead: “C’est du gâteau” which literally means “It’s some cake” and has the same meaning as “It’s a piece of cake” in English.
