'Do you want any cake?'
This is using the word in its uncountable form. This is the most usual way to ask this question. It could mean that you have one large cake and you are offering a slice. It could also mean that there are various different cakes.
'Do you want a cake?'
This is countable singular. There is one cake and you are offering the whole cake to someone, or there are several cakes and you're inviting the person to choose just one.
