                                According to one study on bite counting, an average bite contains about 11 to 17 calories, but for a richer dessert, a tiny piece of cake can easily exceed this range depending on its density and frosting. The exact number of calories can vary dramatically based on the type, ingredients, and even the size of the bite.
