How will my cupcakes turn out after baking if I don't include the baking soda?!


Question: I want to bake cupcakes, but all my recipes call for a half-teaspoon of baking soda. What would happen if I went ahead with making the cupcakes, minus the baking soda? Will they be terribly flat--to the point they will be inedible?

If you use milk that is not soured, (what old timers call sweet milk) then use baking powder. When using baking soda, use sour milk, sour cream, yogurt, buttermilk,etc.
Baking is a science and when you know the basics and their exchanges, you can make these subs in any recipe.

You really must use some leven, but some recipes that have plenty of eggs, and low ratio of flour, don't require leven.

They'll be mudcakey..

They will probably be pretty spongy.

Well, basically the baking soda gives the muffin it's blown up shape when it comes out the oven and welll not using baking soda would well just leave you a corny looking cupcake....

It is edible though.... lmao just more compressed .

Yes they are this is what makes the small airbubbles in cupcakes, hence what makes them fluffy!


Tip always follow recipe exactly whan baking!

They will be leaden.
