Is there any way to save it??

Stick it in the fridge to firm it up, then try to glue it back together with icing. If that doesn't work I can't think of anything else that would help

*sigh* I think that there is no hope. I have a back-up pound cake mix. I guess I'll just bake another cake. I really wanted it to be a chocolate cake, though.

Many of us have saved many a cake - just push the pieces together after smearing some b'cream on them......unless it is in many pieces.

many a time have i decorated and served a broken cake! patch it up, cover it up, and you should be fine
if you do rebake though, you can turn your box mix into a chocolate cake - i think youd want a WASC variation.

Thanks everyone. By the time I got off the computer and went back to the cake, it was already breaking into four pieces. So, I practiced some piping on it. It's really ugly but my family will eat it! I'll bake again in the morning.

What causes a cake to split like that?

With mine always cracking, it was a box mix, or I took it out of the pan too soon and the bulge on the top seemed to break it apart.
I agree with brincess-b, do a variation of WASC chocolate form.

was it breaking without handling? or had it started to break when you handled it?
if you lie a cake upside down, so the dome on the top becomes the bottom, that can lead to cracking. if it was sitting on its original bottom, and breaking without handling, i dont have any suggestions as to prevention im afraid!

It was sitting all by its lonesome when it decided to go to pieces. I guess gravity was just against me that day!
