How big is the cake? LOL
Seriously, you have to do better than that. Either check the recipe of a scratch cake, add all ingredients and then make a finite number of slices , use the box mix amounts, or either measure by inches or weigh it. You have to do some work to figure some of these.0 -
While I don't know the answer, I'm perfectly willing to answer another semi-related question.
The KIND of cake matters. I know this. Because you will see there are separate entries for "birthday cake," for example. And birthday cake definitely does not have the same amount of calories as regular, everyday cake. So don't make the same mistake I did.
oh, well that's easy. It's 23% bigger after 8pm.

In my world it's about half the cake. That's just my take.0

I agree with the OP that database entries that state "One serving" or the like can be frustrating.
But for the sake of answering the question I submit this rule: A 'piece' of cake is a section large enough that it can stand upright without falling over while you carry the plate it is on into the next room.

An American standard cake slice is 1/8th of the cake.
In European slicing that converts to 0.13672 cakes.
GO METRIC!
1/8 = 0.125
If 1 European slice is 0.13672 cakes, then the cake is being sliced into 7.3142 slices.......0 -

Half the cake. Do you even fat?0

Whats with the thousands of cake entries in the database that are measured by "1 slice" with no weights?
I would suggest that if your cake is in pieces, it is broken and should be sent to me for defective cake disposal.0 -

1/8 = 0.125 US units.
SI units are a completely different ball of wax.
Did you know that there is a slice of cake made out of gold in Stockholm that they keep under a glass dome that is the official "SI Slice of Cake" ? And don't even ask what happens once you're past 1 mile above sea level.0 -
well, I know it's NOT 3.14 because that's the measurement used for pie.
**snort**0 -
Lol. Y'all crack me up.
I love the vague "1 piece" entries because then I can have a large piece and it still logs the same . I think a standard piece would be a 2.5" cube.0 -
I really wouldn't know... Honestly, it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine that some of the bigger chain cake sellers around here do supply information about the natritional valies of their products per 100 g. That's really great, but they never say how much one cake actually weighs. With this making it impossible to determine how much a piece is in those cases you don't have the whole cake available for weighing. :noway:0

zing! lol0 -
Perhaps the correct measurement is hiding in the "chicken" entries.0 -
Not big enough.
Ah, every man's nightmare.0
