What Adds Up To A Hunk Of Cake, To You

I was watching Leave It To Beaver and the conversation goes something like this

So my question to you all is if you were promised a “hunk of cake” (and not a hunk in a cake :)) and couldn’t get it, what would be a fair substitution for you?

An apology?

A wad of brownie.
A cluster of cookies.
A palm of pie.
A scoop of pudding.(American)
A length of pastry.

A “palm” of pie? No, a mess of pie.
