Baking Soda Cake
The secret to making a delicious cake at home is hidden in the ingredients used. Baking soda cake is always among the favorites with its practicality and fluffy texture.
Well, do you know how baking soda makes a cake rise?
Baking soda, chemically known as sodium bicarbonate, reacts with an acidic ingredient to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas creates small bubbles in the cake batter, giving it a light texture and rise as it bakes.
That's why when using baking soda, an acidic ingredient like yogurt, lemon juice, or vinegar is usually added to the dough to fully activate the baking soda.
Another advantage of baking soda is that it is a natural leavening agent. It is an easy ingredient to find in the kitchen and adds a light touch and flavor to your cakes. If you don’t have baking powder on hand or are looking for a more natural alternative, baking soda is a great option.
