Yesterday, I posted the recipe for Wacky Cake. Several people commented that they were going to make it right away. Well, last night I started getting emails from folks who had made the cake, but it didn’t turn out. I didn’t know until Nicole pointed out that I had forgotten the baking soda in the list of ingredients.
I know for a fact that my mistake caused at least 3 cake flops yesterday, including one that was a birthday cake! Boy, do I feel terrible. I’ve corrected the recipe in the post, but I’m not sure that my email subscribers will get that update, so I wanted to confess my omission in a separate post. I vow to do a better job proof-reading recipes from now on. And please, if you do find a mistake, let me know!

Had to laugh about leaving out the baking soda. I’ve been making some cupcakes for over 25 years, based on a “wacky cake” type recipe. Several of my friends make them too. We have ALL made the mistake of omitting the baking soda, and those ‘cakes have the consistency of a rubber eraser without it! Recently my teen daughter did the same, even though my worn recipe card now has about three notations to not forget the soda!
Lynette, that’s a funny story. It must be something about that cake.
been there, done that!
We ALL make mistakes! ((hugs)) We love you still and hey, if it makes you feel any better, I just scraped off the icing and had a good time eating that! LOL
