This study took two classes as samples, class X-BDP 1 as the experimental class and X-BDP 2 as the control class with 20 students each and a total of 40 students. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Cake application in students' speaking skills. The method used in this research is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design. In collecting data, the researcher used an oral test by providing an instruction sheet and a guide as an instrument. The tests were pre-test which was given before the treatment and posttest which was given after the treatment. Then, the data obtained were analyzed by using t-test in SPSS 16 with 5% (0.05) significance level. Further, the researcher found that the mean score of post-test in experimental class was higher than controlled class (71.20 > 66.00). The t-test result also presents that t count (2.171) was higher than the t tablein the significance level 5% (0.05). Because the value of P (sig.) -tailed= 0,036 < 0.05.
