Just today, under my nose, a mother was scolding her daughter and I heard her say: "You can't eat your cake and have it".
Immediately, I felt I should tap and tell her, "ma, the correct idiom is 'you can't have your cake and eat it'".
Yes, that's how you have it from the native speakers and that's what you have in your dictionary.
I can recall that I have taught this before. If you never knew this, all along, now you do!
