kenya

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

'where abroad a piece' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'cake can take any form' is the wordplay.
'cake can' becomes 'ke' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'take' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'form' indicates anagramming the letters.
'any' with letters rearranged gives 'nya'.
'ke'+'nya'='KENYA'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
