I bit a piece off the cake/I bit a piece of the cake off

[slovac]

Could you please tell how to express I separated a small piece of cake from the rest of it by bitting it off?

I bit a piece off the cake
I bit a piece of the cake off
...

Thank you

Either works.

What did you bite? I bit a piece off the cake.
What happened to the cake? I bit a piece of the cake off.

It doesn't matter.

You can also say "I bit off a piece of the cake".

Thanks for the answers.

You can also say "I bit off a piece of the cake".

I would say this.

 

[Parla]

So would I.

Or, "I took a bite of the cake".
