The sponge cake is the basis of many cakes, but many people are afraid to cut it while this is a pretty simple operation.
The decision to divide into 2 or three parts will be based on the height of the sponge cake.
Basically waiting for the sponge cake be completely cooled before cutting it, we recommend to prepare it the day before.
Now we will see two very simple methods to cut off the sponge cake, the first using a knife the second using a nylon thread.
Cut the sponge cake with the knife
Now we see the technique to cut the sponge cake with the knife, we’ll need a long, thin blade knife and a table knife.
So let’s start with taking the table knife and engraving a reference line around the sponge cake which we will use to cut.
Now we take the knife long blade and following the line we start cutting the sponge cake, paying attention not to lose the reference line.
Cut the sponge cake with the thread
To cut the sponge cake with the wire (nylon, or resistant sewing thread) the process is analogous to the method with the knife.
To begin drawing guidelines through the table knife, then take the thread and pass it through the sponge cake follow the track until you complete the cut.
Conservation
The sponge cake can be stored in refrigerator for cut 2-3 days with the firmness of wrapping it in the transparent film to prevent it from becoming hard.
