It'll still be there. In diverging timelines stopping yourself from eating it will not effect the original timeline in which you ate the cake. In a deterministic timeline you can't stop yourself from eating the cake no matter what you do. In an overwriting timeline it has already been determined that you've eaten the cake, so despite going back you haven't stopped yourself from eating the cake.

The real question is:

would you eat the cake at all, with yourself popping out of the future, telling you the story of the cake, just because you are curious to see what happens if you don't eat it?

If we're going back in time can I bring this weeks winning lottery number with me?

Biffs mistake is he went back too far. A week or two, a month at the most would be all you'd really need.

My friends thanks for your answer to my thoughts

However, every answer could be correct of wrong and we do not know until we invent the time machine-what is correct and not regarding those theories

Time travel is not possible, it would make the universe implodite...
It is the same with Google. If you enter the word 'Google' in Google you would destroy the internetz!
