In June 2023 Cake DeFi was rebranded to Bake.
Using Blockpit to track your crypto asset investments can help you save time and money. By importing your data from Bake, Blockpit can quickly and accurately calculate a fully compliant tax report, giving you the information you need to make the best decisions for your portfolio.
Will Bake automatically deduct the tax for me?
Unfortunately, Bake currently does not automatically withhold your tax for you. If you transfer and trade between different exchanges or wallets, Bake would also have to estimate your acquisition costs. For the correct determination of your taxes, the later proof and the declaration of your taxes at the tax office, a complete and proper documentation of all transactions is therefore essential.
How to import your Bake transaction data into Blockpit?
Blockpit uses highly sophisticated integrations to interpret your Bake transaction data and enable an import of multiple Bake products in a fully automated way. This guide will walk you through the first steps to integrate your Bake data into the Blockpit web app.
Step 1: Log in to your Blockpit account

What does a sample Bake tax report look like?
Blockpit creates the most comprehensive tax reports with pre-filled tax forms for your local tax authority in PDF format. Our tax reports also contain clear explanations in terms of legal interpretation for submission to tax authorities. So far, every tax report has been accepted by the tax office without a complaint.
The report provides information about all your balances, realized profits and losses and can be used as proof of origin with banks or tax advisors. It contains all relevant transactions of your account, always refers to the selected tax year and shows details such as time stamp, amount, asset, costs and fees of the individual transactions.
