Answer:
"You can't have your cake and eat it too is a famous figure of speech. The idiomatic proverb literally means " you can't simultaneously retain your cake and eat it, I. e once the cake is eaten it is gone. The proverb's meaning is similar to the phrases, "you can't have it both ways" or " you can't have the best of both worlds".For those unfamiliar with it, the proverb kay sound confusing due to the ambiguity of the word, "have", which can mean " keep", but which can also be used as a synonym for "eat".
