New York Cake is a 1981 album by Italo disco band Kano. Originally recorded for Full Time Records, it was released in the United States by Mirage Records. It was produced by Luciano Ninzatti, Matteo Bonsanto, and Stefano Pulga. The album features Italian top 3 hit "Baby Not Tonight" and American No. 89 Hit "Can't Hold Back (Your Loving)".
The album entered the Billboard 200 and Top R&B Albums charts in 1982.
In 2009 the British label Funky Town Grooves released the album in a limited edition for the first time on CD with an extended version of "Can't Hold Back (Your Loving)" as a bonus track. The album was remastered from a vinyl LP and not the original master-tapes.
"Can't Hold Back (Your Loving)" was later featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto V, but it was removed without explanation, possibly due to copyright licence expiration.
