Answer / jeevan
Cake is never cut in such a way.
Wat we can do is.
1st cut should be cutting the Cake into two Halfs
Now put one half on top of other. Then again cutting it like
we made the 1st cut.
so now 4 parts. Two on top two on below.
Now Cut the cake in the orthogonal direction than the
earlier two cuts.
The trick was only That u can put one half on top of other.
Tats it.

Answer / shelly
Cut the cake ( doesnt matter what shape it is) this way:
1) first cut half
2) second cut perpendicular to first cut, just cut like a
cross(i.e , the plus or add sign in maths)
3) Since all cakes have thickness, we can cut it through
middle, horizontally
This way we get four pieces above and four pieces below
making it eight pieces.

Answer / safder
first take the knife weather the cake round or square.
describe the 3 cut by safder
1. take the knife and from the middle cut half circle
that comes to 2 pices of the cake in first cut.
2. the second cut should be vertically from middle that
come to 4 pices.
3. the 3 cut should be horizontal from the middle of the
cake its come to 8 pices in 3 cuts.
note:-the above cut i dont feel right because we cannot
keep the cake one up on the other its will destroy the cake
