Piece of Cake is the third studio album by American rock band Mudhoney.[1][2] Released in 1992, it was the band's first album for Reprise Records.[3] The album was released at the height of grunge, a genre Mudhoney had helped create.[4]

The album peaked at No. 189 on the Billboard 200.[5] The band supported it with a North American tour that included shows with Eugenius.[6] "Suck You Dry" and "Blinding Sun" were released as singles.[7]

Reprise reissued the album in 2003, bundled with the E.P. Five Dollar Bob's Mock Cooter Stew and the b-sides from the singles. In 2020, Piece of Cake was included in the 4CD box set Real Low Vibe: Reprise Recordings 1992-1998.[8]
