6 minutes 4 pieces = 3 cuts x 2 minutes each = 6 minutes
Cut a round cake in eight equal sized wedge shaped pieces with four vertical cuts, then make one horizontal cut through the center of the cake to equal sixteen pieces.It's slightly more tricky if you are only allowed to cut the horizontal cross-section of the cake (treat the cake as a circle). In this case, first divide the cake with one cut (2 pieces), then cut it again so that it intersects the first cut (4 pieces), then cut it a third time so that it intersects both cuts previously made, at different points (7 pieces), then let the fourth cut intersect all three cuts so far at different points (11 pieces), and let the fifth and final cut intersect all four cuts at different points (16 pieces total).

It really depends how long you make the pieces. You are better off in keeping the pieces multiples of 5 or 10 so you can maximise the amount of equal pieces
1) One vertical cut in half.2) A second vertical cut at 90 degrees to the previous one. You should now have 4 equal pieces.3) Make a cut parallel to the table, halfway through the cake. Like you are slicing a bagel in half or a subway sandwich. Should now have 8 equal pieces.4) Eat one piece!
