The way we cut the cake for a long time is still making it turn out not to be the "standard" method.
Gato cake is one of the indispensable dishes in every birthday party. But did you know, so far, we have always cut the cake "improperly" and this has been scientifically proven.
Do you all cut cake like this?
Cut the cake from outside to the center of the cake, forming a triangle.
This method will not matter if we eat this cake. However, the fact that gato cake is the most leftover dish in every party . At that time, we often leave the cake like that and put it in the refrigerator.
If you want to eat cake the next day, you will probably cut it as well.
At this point, do you realize that the cut area of the cake will become "dry" because contact with the cold is too long, causing dehydration . Meanwhile, the cake covered with cream is still soft.
Some people will choose to cut away the dry cake, but it is really wasteful right? So, you have to find a way to reduce the area of cake exposed to cold air. But how?
Francis Galton's letter in 1906.
The solution to this problem was actually introduced from . more than 100 years ago by British scientist Francis Galton. In a letter published in Nature - a well-known scientific journal in 1906, he proposed a method of cutting the cake, which can minimize the amount of dried cake, to help us enjoy. full gato cake for at least a few days.
Specifically, we will cut the cake as follows:
This will be the first cut.
First, cut the cake in the middle, so that after taking the piece, we have two equal halves. Then put two halves into one as shown below.
In this way, we have minimized the amount of cake exposed to the air. And if we don't finish it, we can still store the cake in the refrigerator, but the cake still doesn't lose its softness.
On the second day, or if we want to continue eating right away, the cut will be as follows.
After cutting, re-assemble the cake sections to minimize the dry cake area when storing.
The same applies for the third cut until the cake runs out.
