Is MIL's slice of cake a bit stingy? (Picture)

MIL is a lovely women really, but positively enjoys being frugal and detests any excess in all its forms.

She's baked us a lovely cake, but is determined for it to last for as long as possible. She is the master slice cutter and won't let anyone else near it.

AIBU to be a bit disappointed with the size of this slice?

(Everyone disappeared into the other room, so I was able to take this sneaky photo with handy scale provided by new pound coin!)

I'm with the MIL. I detest excess.
tbh, I get stressed out at large catering events to watch 2x as much food as was eaten go into the bins. This is horrendous.

It's not a large portion in OP, but it's plenty. Confused
Very rude to insist on large portions, imho. You actually taste the food if you eat smaller portions, too (small makes you take your time).
I'm betting OP got similar size portions for veg & other savory elements, but hasn't asked for more of them.

I don't know of any universe where that could be described as "plenty" of cake. Confused
