There is an actual scientific way to cut a cake !
And you’ve been doing it wrong !

Everyone pretty much cuts the cake in the same way – but you’ve been doing it wrong for your entire life.
That’s right – there is actually a scientific way to cut up your cake goodness, and it will keep the sponge moist and the cream soft for many days longer.
The standard way to cut up a cake is to roughly estimate where the center is and cut from there to the edge, before cutting a rough-sized angle to create a triangle slice.
However, this leaves it exposed to dry out quickly, meaning day number two’s slice is a massive disappointment.

  This is how we all did it wrong – till now.

But the scientific method, unearthed by baking fans, states that slices are cut into rectangles – and your cake will keep its goodness for a lot longer than you are used to.
Are you ready to have your mind blown? Here’s how you do it:

Three easy steps to cut your cake right.

Step 1, cut the cake into quarters so you have four, equal-sized triangular portions.
If you can resist eating one of those chunks, then step 2 is to cut next to the same line made when slicing it in half.
What you should be left with are two rectangular slices ready to be enjoyed.
Step 3, simply push the remainder of the cake together – this will keep everything fresh as you are essentially stopping any air from drying out the inside.

      Take off the pieces you need and push the remaining together. Your cake will stay fresh longer.

This ingenious method was devised in 1906 by a mathematician who wanted his cake soft and creamy and the remaining parts kept fresh longer.

Eating cake has, unbelievably, just got even better. Enjoy cake cutting as I do !
