a piece of cake

مثل آب خوردن - آسان

Referring to something as " a piece of cake" is often used, to describe a situation that was easy, or required little effort. How did the term " cake" come to mean " easy"? i

The idea of "cake" being"easy" originated in the 1870's when cakes were given out as prizes for winning competitions. In particular, there was a tradition in the US slavery states where slaves would circle around a cake at a gathering. The most "graceful" pair would win the cake in the middle. From this the term "cake walk" and "piece of cake" come into being, both meaning that something was easy to accomplish. The term was first used in print in 1936 by Ogden  Nash who wrote, "Her pictures in the papers now, and life's a piece of cake." Today the term is commonly used to describe tests at school, or friendly competitions.The expression " as easy as pie" has the same meaning as very easy.i
