Slab Cake is not a legal term, and bakeries are free to define a slab as whatever they want. At bakeries, the most common “standard size” for a full slab cake is 16 x 24 inches (40 x 60 cm), and about 3 inches (7 1/2 cm) tall. Generally, bakeries sell them by the 1/2 slab (16 x 12 inches / 20 x 30 cm.)

Picture a pan of frosted cake sitting on the counter that everyone digs into as they wish.
