Quote:I think this involves swapping an implicit "then" into the phrase.

"Have your cake and then eat it" is possible, and "eat your cake and then have it" is impossible.

Having your cake simultaneously with eating should be impossible as well, although you could perhaps quibble over eaten and uneaten parts of the cake.

However, the phrase appears to be retrospective: once all actions are complete, it will either be the case that you do not have your cake, or it will be the case that you actually didn't eat it.

Ah, nitpicking. :D

So I heard there was an offer of free cake in this thread? As long as you do NOT say all I have to do is go through a weird Portal, I'm very interested in this intriguing idea of free cake.
