The measure word "块" refers to pieces or lumps. You may use these nouns after 块 (in the parenthesis, I marked the English translation followed by the Pinyin):
肉 (meat, rou4),蛋糕 (cake, dan4gao1),面包 (bread, mian4bao1),奶酪 (cheese, nai3lao4),金子 (gold, jin1zi5),石头 (stone,rock, shi2tou5),土 (earth, tu3), 手表 (watch, shou3biao3)etc.
When used in spoken Chinese, "块" can also the measure word for money, e.g. 三块 means 3 yuan (Chinese Yuan). Please check out the other entry of 块 in our dictionary.:)

The most common way to use 块 (kuài) in a sentence is using it as a measure word for a physical object that has been cut into pieces or chunks. For example, one might say 你想要几块蛋糕？ (Nǐ xiǎng yào jǐ kuài dàngāo?) meaning "How many pieces of cake do you want?". 块 (kuài) can also be used to refer to a lump of something, such as 一块面团 (yī kuài miàntuán) meaning "a lump of dough".
