"Still Life with Cake" is a notable work by Raphaelle Peale, an American painter recognized as the first professional still life artist in the United States. Created in 1818, this painting is an exemplar of Peale's meticulous and refined approach to the still life genre. It measures 24.1 cm × 28.7 cm (9.5 in × 11.3 in) and is currently housed in the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

The painting features an array of delicately rendered objects arranged on a tabletop, including a partially sliced cake, fruit, nuts, and a wine glass, all of which are depicted with a high degree of realism. The composition is characterized by its clarity and the artist's attention to texture and detail, which was typical of Peale's work. The use of light and shadow in "Still Life with Cake" demonstrates Peale's skill in creating a sense of depth and volume, making the inanimate objects appear almost tangible.

Raphaelle Peale, born in 1774, was a son of the famous American artist Charles Willson Peale. Despite living in the shadow of his father's legacy, Raphaelle carved out his own niche in the art world by focusing on still life paintings at a time when the genre was not widely practiced in America. His work is often noted for its quiet elegance and the contemplative mood it evokes.

"Still Life with Cake" is considered an important piece in the oeuvre of Raphaelle Peale and is frequently studied for its contribution to the development of American still life painting. The artwork reflects the artist's personal struggle with ill health and financial difficulties, which is thought to have influenced the subdued and introspective nature of his still lifes. Through paintings like "Still Life with Cake," Peale helped to elevate the status of still life painting in America and left a lasting impact on the genre.
