Tips

  • The best way to cut a cake is by cutting it in half first, then divide the halves into four equal sections. This way you'll be able to cut 8 even pieces from each side of the cake, instead of guessing how big the wedges are going to be.
  • The secret to the best chocolate cake is adding mayo to it, as the tang and creaminess of this condiment helps make the cake super moist and brings out the chocolate flavor.
