The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 482 calories for 1 cake slice at 200 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 241 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.6 g protein, 1.8 g fiber, and 546 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cake or cupcake, white, no icing, representing 65% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 source-input rows in all. 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 289–482 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 2707888: “Cake, torte.” 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 2707888, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 120 g | 289 kcal | 3.9 g | 1.1 g | 328 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 150 g | 362 kcal | 4.9 g | 1.4 g | 410 mg |
| 1 piece/slice, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 200 g | 482 kcal | 6.6 g | 1.8 g | 546 mg |

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707888’s 200 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Cake, torte,” 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 120 g and 200 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 289 kcal to 482 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707872
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.5 g more dietary fiber than “Cake, cream.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Cake or cupcake, white, no icing
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Cake or cupcake, white, no icing supplies 65% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “torte” 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 45 less calories, 3.9 g more carbohydrate, and 6.6 g less total fat than “Cake, cream.”
Only this record lists Strawberries, raw; Sugars, granulated. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 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.
Shared listed inputs: Cake or cupcake, white, no icing; Cream, whipped, cream topping, pressurized.
Listed only in this record: Strawberries, raw; Sugars, granulated.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 200 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cake slice (200 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 2707888 with FDC 2707872 at equal mass; use their 200 g and 200 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707888 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, torte,” 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 2707888 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 241 kcal per 100 g becomes 482 kcal at 200 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: 2707888
FNDDS food code: 53118500
The scaling for FDC 2707888 can be exact while the match to “Cake, torte” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 200 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
