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.
the purpose of baking powder in a cake is to make it rise and not make it flat and if you put too much of baking powder your cake might burst in the oven/microwave what ever you use
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.
to make it rise and be less dense
It either helps whatever you're baking rise or make whatever you're baking soft and fluffy.
No. The eggs don't make cakes rise. It is the baking powder in the cake flour.
to make recepies rise it helps the cake to rise during cooking making it light and spongy
Not every recipe calls for baking soda, but for the ones that do it interacts with the flour to rise and expand the cookies or cake.
Baking powder is not a gas, but it does make a cake rise by releasing carbon dioxide into the batter through chemical reaction.
to make it 'rise', have air pockets, not be dense
It's not the milk alone that makes a cake rise. If the recipe includes milk it probably also contains either baking powder and/or baking soda. This combination of a base (Baking soda or Baking Powder) and an acid (milk) causes a slight chemical reaction which causes the cake to rise.
The baking soda is a base. It reacts with acidic ingredients in the batter to make bubbles that help the cake to rise. Just mix some vinegar with baking soda and you can witness the reaction.
Yes because yeast is added to make the cake rise.
