If you're like, well- -almost everybody, you've been cutting cakes into slices like the ones above. This apparently is completely wrong! "Why?" You ask. Because slicing a cake the regular way will always leave the cut sides to dry out.

This question apparently had been plaguing the scientists at IFLScience, so they did the obligatory research and discovered that a mathematician back in 1906 had came up with a new, optimal, scientific method.

To be truthful it makes a lot of sense, but there is still something really appealing about a nice big wedge of chocolate cake. I mean if you don't leave anything, there is nothing to dry out. Right?

Here is the correct way to cut a cake and keep the remaining pieces nice and moist.
