German premium cutlery brand Zwilling shared a on its USA social media page to demonstrate exactly how cakes should be cut.
The brand claimed a mathematician created the "perfect" method more than 100 years ago.
Instead of cutting the cake into slices, the genius suggested cutting it into strips.
With this process, people are supposed to cut two parallel lines across the center of the cake, so that a rectangular strip can be pulled out.
The strip is cut into smaller pieces and then served.
After the cake is done being cut, each half of it should be pushed together so the only part of it exposed to the air is the outside of it.
"This method prevents the cut surface of the cake from drying out," text in Zwilling's video read.
Each time the cake is cut, the process is repeated, and the cake simply become smaller.

"But then not everyone gets extra outside frosting," one viewer argued.
"This is why I hate cutting like this."
"But then last pieces are just frosting," another added.
However, others applauded the hack while several viewers joked that there's never leftover cake in their household.
