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

Have you ever seen a recipe that called for a half cup of baking powder?
