HELLO, SEPTEMBER!

The unofficial season of cozy drinks, crisp mornings, and ALL the fall flavors is here!

So we have to settle an important debate…

🎃 TEAM PUMPKIN SPICE - "It's fall, obviously"
or
🍎 TEAM APPLE SPICE? - "Pumpkin who?"

No judgment. No wrong answers. Just strong seasonal opinions.

So… whose side are you on?

Drop your team in the comments!

If you are new here and you are a beginner or aspiring baker, save this post; you'll probably need it.
There is nothing to say here; the attached image is self-explanatory.
Actually, there's something I'd like to add.
You see, when your baking powder or soda is expired, your cake will most likely come out as the one labelled "no leavener."
So keep that in mind just in case you ever bake and it comes out dense and heavy.
It's either your baking powder or soda is expired or you forgot to add them while preparing the batter.

•••
Note:
The only failed cake in the picture is the one labeled "No Leavener."
There's no recommended combination or a better one; it all depends on how the recipe you are using was developed.
Some recipes call for baking powder only, and that's totally fine.
Some call for baking soda, and that's okay so long as there's an acid (vinegar, lemon juice, or cream of tartar) in the ingredients to activate the baking soda.
While some recipes were developed to use both baking powder and soda, that's totally fine too.
So it all boils down to what I always advise: "Stick to the specifics of your chosen recipe."
Don't add, remove, or substitute any ingredient unless you know what you are doing or are experimenting.
Doing any of those will definitely alter the result in one way or another.

As always, I hope this helps someone.
