Sponge cake/cake cutter

Sponge cake/cake cutter

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 cut two straight slices in just one time.

Sponge cake cutter - 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.

Then take the cake cutter at hand and decide on the height of your cake layers. You can cut the slices all the same thickness to create a layer cake, for a soaked cake, for example a cherry cake, you will often need a slightly thinner and a rather thicker sponge cake slice. The thicker slice is then soaked with syrup, alcohol or other liquid.

Slide the wires on both sides to the desired height and make sure that they lock into the notches, so you can not slip during cutting. Then hold the cookie gently with your weaker hand, so you can place the saw all the way on the work surface and use a sawing motion to cut the slices. The finished slices can then be layered with cream and ganache, drizzled or simply frozen. If the wires are a little worn out after frequent use, you can easily replace them with the replacement wires for sponge cake / cake cutter, so you cut countless cake layers.
