Pie, counterintuitively, for each working cafe -- OK? (1,5,2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

a piece of cake

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pie counterintuitively' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'each working cafe ok?' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'apiece' (synonyms).
'working' indicates an anagram.
'cafe'+'ok'='cafeok'
'cafeok' anagrammed gives 'ofcake'.
'apiece'+'ofcake'='A PIECE OF CAKE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for a piece of cake that I've seen before include "... easy thing to do" , "Breeze" , "What one may eat at a birthday party" , "Something easily achieved (informal)" , "picnic?" .)
