The question "How many ounces of nuts are needed to make a cake?" is incomplete.
It should mention about how much pound of cake needed to make.
This question asked that how many ounces of nuts are needed to make "a cake".
In fact, a cake can be in any weight/mass, such as 1%2F12 pound, 1%2F5 pound, 1 pound, 2 pounds or 3 pounds.
