Cake, tres leche calories: 540 per 1 cake slice (200 g)
This exact USDA record reports 540 calories for 1 cake slice (200 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 540 calories for 1 cake slice at 200 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 270 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 12.8 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 142 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is milk, canned, condensed, sweetened, representing 24% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 7 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 324–540 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 2707889: “Cake, tres leche.” 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 2707889, 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 | 324 kcal | 7.7 g | 0.4 g | 85 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 150 g | 405 kcal | 9.6 g | 0.5 g | 107 mg |
| 1 piece/slice, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 200 g | 540 kcal | 12.8 g | 0.6 g | 142 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707889’s 200 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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.
Strength-side signals
Calcium270 mg
≈ 21% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Cake, tres leche,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707888 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 324 kcal to 540 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707888
At an equal 100 g, this record has 202 mg less sodium than “Cake, torte.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Milk, canned, condensed, sweetened
The source formulation has 7 input rows; Milk, canned, condensed, sweetened supplies 24% 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 “tres leche” fits. Inspect FDC 2707888 when “torte” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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, tres leche,” 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 2707889 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 270 kcal per 100 g becomes 540 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: 2707889
FNDDS food code: 53118550
The scaling for FDC 2707889 can be exact while the match to “Cake, tres leche” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 200 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
