Cake base cutting aid

Cake base cutting aid

The sponge cake layers for a cake should be cut nice and straight and, depending on the cake, always the same height. With a normal knife, cutting the sponge is a real challenge and especially if cake baking is one of your hobbies, it becomes tedious to have to work with sloping sponge slices again and again. With the sponge cutter you can determine the perfect height yourself, cut the sponge straight and always cut slices of the same thickness.

Cake base cutting aid - Application

To start, make a nice airy sponge cake or even a moist brownie cake. On the first day, the cakes are still a bit crumbly, so it is recommended to leave the sponge cake still in the cake ring and covered with a second tray for a day. Then you can carefully remove the sponge cake from the cake ring with the help of a knife without serrations and place it on a straight work surface.

Open the cutting aid ring as far as possible, place it over the sponge and tighten it. Now you can cut the individual slices with the help of a long knife with serrations, for example a bread knife or a pastry knife. For very thin sponge slices, cut at each gap; if you want a sturdy base or a sponge that will soak well, you can leave out one or two openings at a time.

The finished slices can then be layered with cream and ganache, soaked or simply frozen. You can easily put the cutting aid in the dishwasher, so it is quickly freed from cake crumbs and residues.
