How to Cut Warm Cake

Cutting a warm cake properly will keep the pieces looking neat.

The aroma of a baking cake fills the house. It's finally out of the oven, cooled a bit and time to eat. Warm cake crumbles easily, so cutting it requires careful attention. If you start hacking at the baked good, the pieces won't look as appealing. Warm cake also tends to stick to the pan, and that can make cutting difficult.

Things You'll Need

• Butter knife
• Spatula

Instructions

1. Hold the knife at a 45 degree angle with the tip in the cake.

2. Slowly lower your hand to push the knife into the cake.

3. Make small, sawing motions as you move the knife through the cake.

4. Slide the spatula under the piece and lift it from the pan.
