The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 154 calories for 1 cake slice at 60 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 257 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 3.7 g protein, 0.1 g fiber, and 307 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cake, angelfood, dry mix, prepared, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 cake slice at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 129–154 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707854: “Cake, angel food.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2707854, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 piece/slice, any size” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 45 g | 116 kcal | 2.7 g | 0.1 g | 230 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 50 g | 129 kcal | 3.1 g | 0.1 g | 256 mg |
| 1 piece/slice, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 60 g | 154 kcal | 3.7 g | 0.1 g | 307 mg |

The comparison set contains 65 exact records in the Cakes and pies USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707854’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707854’s 60 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Strength-side signals
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium307 mg
≈ 13% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0 g
≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Cake, angel food,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707872 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 piece/slice, any size
USDA assigns those measures 50 g and 60 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 129 kcal to 154 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707872
At an equal 100 g, this record has 16.7 g less total fat than “Cake, cream.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Cake, angelfood, dry mix, prepared
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “angel food” fits. Inspect FDC 2707872 when “cream” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 29 less calories, 2.3 g more protein, and 28.7 g more carbohydrate than “Cake, cream.”
Only this record lists Cake, angelfood, dry mix, prepared. Only the comparison record lists Cake or cupcake, white, no icing; Cream, whipped, cream topping, pressurized. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Listed only in this record: Cake, angelfood, dry mix, prepared.
Listed only in the comparison: Cake or cupcake, white, no icing; Cream, whipped, cream topping, pressurized.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 60 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cake slice (60 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 200 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cake slice (200 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707854 with FDC 2707872 at equal mass; use their 60 g and 200 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707854 versus FDC 2707872 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with piece or portion size, recipe or brand, fillings or frosting, added fats and sugars.
For “Cake, angel food,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
piece or portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
recipe or brand
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
fillings or frosting
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
added fats and sugars
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707854 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 257 kcal per 100 g becomes 154 kcal at 60 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 cake slice has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2707854
FNDDS food code: 53101100
The scaling for FDC 2707854 can be exact while the match to “Cake, angel food” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 60 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
