Help! I accidentally 3x the baking soda in a cake! What to do to save it? Was already in oven when I realized.

Have you ever accidentally added too much baking soda to a cake?

Is there any way to salvage or balance the taste after baking?

Any tips for masking the flavor, pairing it with something, or repurposing the cake would be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.

I honestly don’t know if it can be fixed, but you could always just add 2x the amount of additional ingredients and make enough batter for three cakes.

I gotta be honest. Now I want to see what the cake would like like of made as is

If it’s still just in the dry ingredients, do what Lana said & then just use 1/3 of the dry ingredients for this cake & you have the other to put in bags for the next 2 cakes.

You could triple the rest of the ingredients and make 3 cakes or one cake and a bunch of cupcakes. Once baked you can freeze.

Christmas is close you could put the extra into a bake sale for charity.

If you won’t triple the recipe try adding vinegar to neutralize it.
Add 2 parts vinegar to every part of baking soda.

If you add extra 2 tsp of baking soda, add 4 tsp vinegar.

Add more ingredients leave out soda just twice as much cake mix no soda at all

Add vinegar or lemon juice. Look up how to substitute baking powder with baking soda for quantity
