The amount of baking soda and/or baking powder needs to be in correct proportion to all the other ingredients in the cake batter. Adding additional baking soda could actually make a cake fall, if it disturbed the balance between alkaline and acid ingredients.
If you are up to experimenting, you could try adding 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. baking soda along with 1 Tbs. lemon juice.
