Would something like this be allowed:

Spoiler:
1. Cut the cake in half.

2. Stack the two halves, one on top of the other.

3. Cut the stack into half (so now you have four pieces).

4. Stack the four pieces one on top of the other.

5. Cut in half again.


This is just off the top of my head. No doubt, there's an objection to it somewhere.
