Sometimes when i bake a cake that includes baking soda/powder as an ingredient the cake comes out either tasting like baking soda/powder or it has a strong after taste of it. Now im not a fucking pleb i know you have to sift and stir dry ingredients and measure properly. I think the weirdest thing about my problem is that when i have family and friends eat the cake to get a second opinion they always say they cant taste it and say its great. I never taste baking soda/powder in cakes made by other people either. so does anyone else have this problem or am i just cursed by the baking gods?
