Name: To Cut Layer Cake
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 round hole in the cake with a knife or tin tube about an inch and a quarter in diameter

Original Recipe

When cutting Layer Cakes, it is better to first make a round hole in the cake with a knife or tin tube about an inch and a quarter in diameter. This prevents the edge of the cake from crumbling when cutting it. When making custard filling for Layer Cake always set the dish containing the custard in another dish of boiling water over the fire; this prevents its burning, which would destroy its flavor.
