Mistakes happen. Don’t let it throw you off course. Once we stop seeing foods as good vs bad or healthy vs not healthy and starting see it as calories , macros and nutrients then less mistakes begin to occur10

Mascarpone! Just about 120 Cal per oz (28.35g). Weigh the remainder cake... and you will easily see why!
Oh well. Live and learn. It ain't the end of the world. So you had too many calories today. <shrug> Just go back to your plan as of your next meal, and by next year it will be as if it never happened.21 -

Mascarpoje?5 -
The whole topping of the cake is whipped almond mascarpone cream. Mascarpone is the italian cream cheese that is also often used to make Tiramisu. An incredibly, light, airy, melts in your mouth and disappears as if it has no substance... FULL FAT CREAM CHEESE35

I find more troublesome calling YOUR mom "stupid" than you eating 3/4 of the cake.

Mascarpone is an Italian cheese from the Lombardy region, made by curdling milk cream with citric acid or acetic acid. It is a thick, double or triple cream, soft cheese with a very high fat content ranging from 60% to 75%.
per cheese.com7 -
Or as they say where I'm living... it ain't sugar free refrigerated jello pudding mixed with 0% plain greek yogurt (or 0% sucralose sweetened yoplait)... just saying ;-)11

Ooh, I've had that one before. Worth the calories. But yes to the above. I'm sure the fat content in the cake is quite high. That's why it's so soft and creamy.5
-
I assume in addition to being all soft and airy it was also sweet? The sugar alone in a cake that size is more than 400 calories.
There are no shortcuts.7 -

Why are you blaming your mother for your decision to eat 3/4 of a cake?88 -
If something's too good to be true, it usually isn't true.
Did you think to yourself as you were eating it "man, 400cals, I can eat 4 cakes every single day and lose 1lbs per week"?15 -

I was going to say, what makes you think the OP cares about how you feel. But then I realized you guys share the same mom.

Well mom DID advertise the cake as "healthy"!!! <-- so all of us together: healthy =/= low calories =/= healthy18 -
Just have an anchovy-apple cider vinegar smoothie and you'll be fine.42

Thank you for noticing the error. I will be editing my comment if possible. It should be "your mom," not "our mom.” I am too old to be the OP sister…
And I don't care if the OP cares about how I feel or not. I just consider it to be very disrespectful to call a mother "stupid" for whatever reason, and specially in a public forum. Good night.

It's a chantilly cake. There are probably a fair amount of eggs (fat), butter (fat) sugar (more calories), flour (calories), the a ton of mascarpone (more fat), potentially some cream in the mascarpone (again, fat), and almonds (which have fat - though they may have just used almond extract). For reference, here's a recipe for chantilly cake from Bob's Red Mill. The cake is larger by three inches but you get the idea.
Upon further clicking of links, it looks like there's also cream cheese - more cream cheese than mascarpone. Also canola and sunflower seed oils instead of butter.
So yea, like everyone else said, you live your learn.10 -

Just because someone is your (general "your") parent doesn't somehow make them above reproach.15 -
That is a whole lotta calories for one eighth of a tiny cake! (Note that although it says it serves six, the nutritional info is for one eighth.) One three inch long slice equals 550 calories, and it can't all be just the high fat, look at the whopping carb content! As a diabetic I can usually eat a tiny slice of cake, and cheesecakes are usually a little better on carbs, but this is more than double my carb limit for a single tiny slice. This sucker is rich, admit it, that is a doll sized piece of cake to be that big a calorie bomb.
Anyway, your mom made a dumb mistake, forgive her. It's kinda sad to wipe out a whole week's deficit with one mistake but in the long run it won't matter.4 -

Need a “Yum” button for things like this!15 -
Sounds like your mom needs some education. Unless she is deliberately trying to sabotage you. But before assuming that, sit down, explain how many calories you can eat in a day, and then explain the caloric content of some commonly used foods, like a pat of butter. Make up a few meal plans and share them with her.15

Maybe all that fat will help with your constipation.29

Let this just be a lesson to you not to trust other people’s understanding of ‘healthy’, or statements about calories
As you continue in your weight loss journey you’ll get a better feel for calorie densities and make fewer of this sort of mistake.11 -
Respect your mom, dude48

I thought OP said the whole cake was 4000 calories and she ate 3/4 of it - not that 1/8 of it was that many

Lol. Eating more than one slice of cake is never going to end well unless its the only thing you eat the entire day26
