yes, it certainly does. Baking soda reacts with acidic ingredients in the batter, producing bubbles of gas that make the cake rise. Too much or too little baking soda puts the acid / alkaline mix off balance, and the cake will fall flat.
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.
A suitable substitute for baking soda in cake recipes is baking powder.
Yes, baking soda adds some saltiness to a cake. But forgetting the baking soda will cause the cake to be flat and dense rather than light and tender.
Baking soda can be used in cake recipes, but it needs to be carefully balanced with acidic ingredients like buttermilk or yogurt to activate properly and help the cake rise. Using too much baking soda without enough acidity can result in a metallic taste and a soapy texture in the cake. It's important to follow the recipe guidelines when using baking soda in cake making.
the baking soda will explod!!!!
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.
nope
The cake rises, causing it to be lighter and airier.
Don't put too much baking soda when making a cake. Only put as much baking soda as it says.
it doesn't really matter how much just put in the baking soda (as much as you want) then add the vinegar until it explodes, or boils over
Baking soda can be used as a leavening agent in some cake recipes to help the cake rise. It reacts with acid and liquid ingredients in the batter to create carbon dioxide bubbles, which gives the cake volume and a lighter texture. However, it's important to follow a recipe that specifically calls for baking soda as using it incorrectly can affect the taste and texture of the cake.
You replace a cake mix by making the cake from scratch. Any cake recipe from a cook book or found online will tell you how much flour, sugar, baking powder or baking soda, salt and other ingredients to use.
