Ice cream cake calories: 96 per 1 piece (34 g)
This exact USDA record reports 96 calories for 1 piece (34 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 96 calories for 1 piece at 34 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 283 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1 g protein, 0.2 g fiber, and 67 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is ice creams, vanilla, representing 50% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 piece 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 27–962 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 2707877: “Ice cream cake.” 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 2707877, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cubic inch” through “1 ice cream roll (12 oz)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cubic inchUSDA-listed household measure | 9.6 g | 27 kcal | 0.3 g | 0 g | 19 mg |
| 1 piece (1/10 of roll)USDA-listed household measure | 34 g | 96 kcal | 1 g | 0.2 g | 67 mg |
| 1 ice cream roll (12 oz)USDA-listed household measure | 340 g | 962 kcal | 10 g | 1.7 g | 666 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 65 exact records in the Cakes and pies USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707877’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 2707877’s 34 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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
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
Saturated fat1.6 g
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium67 mg
≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Ice cream cake,” 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 cubic inch to 1 ice cream roll (12 oz)
USDA assigns those measures 9.6 g and 340 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 27 kcal to 962 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707872
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.3 g less total fat than “Cake, cream.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Ice creams, vanilla
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Ice creams, vanilla supplies 50% 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 the exact wording “Ice cream cake” 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 9.3 g more carbohydrate and 4.3 g less total fat than “Cake, cream.”
Only this record lists Ice creams, vanilla; Cake or cupcake, white with white icing, bakery. 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.
2 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: Ice creams, vanilla; Cake or cupcake, white with white icing, bakery.
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 34 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece (34 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 2707877 with FDC 2707872 at equal mass; use their 34 g and 200 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707877 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 “Ice cream cake,” 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 2707877 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 283 kcal per 100 g becomes 96 kcal at 34 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 piece 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: 2707877
FNDDS food code: 53112100
The scaling for FDC 2707877 can be exact while the match to “Ice cream cake” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 34 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
