The first thought is that one may have forgot to add baking powder, or not enough baking powder or the baking powder was bad. Baking powder is perishable. To test a batch, add 1 teaspoon to ½ cup hot water. If it doesn't bubble, throw it out.

What happens to a cake if you forgot the baking soda?

If you forget to add baking soda to a cake recipe, the cake may not rise properly and can end up dense, flat, and with a tighter crumb. Baking soda is a leavening agent that helps the cake to rise by creating bubbles in the batter when it reacts with acid. Without it, the cake may not have the desired texture and may taste slightly off.

How much more can a cake rise with baking soda than a cake without baking soda?

A cake made with baking soda can rise more than a cake made without it because baking soda reacts with acid in the recipe to produce carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles in the batter, causing it to rise. On the other hand, a cake without baking soda may rely on other leavening agents like baking powder or beaten eggs to rise, but it may not rise as much as a cake with baking soda.
