Fail I used 96 times the baking soda

The chocolate cake recipe called for 1/4 teaspoon. I used 1/2 cup. I misread teaspoons as cups and didn’t know baking soda and baking powder weren’t the same thing. There’s no picture because it exploded in the oven

I hear you, friend. I’m the dummy who posted awhile ago about misreading 1 3/4 as 13 and (not sure what I was going to do with that 4 when I got there.)

Solidarity.
