Question

A person is eating cake or cookies and the like. How much should he eat so that there is no doubt regarding the first and last blessings?

Answer

Either he should eat less than 200 cc (approximately the size of a regular cup) and recite the blessings “Mezonot” and “Al HaMichya.” Or he should eat more than 800 cc (more than three-quarters of a standard bag of milk) and recite “HaMotzi” and Birkat HaMazon (Grace after Meals).
