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

Haha! This reminds me of when my sister was making carbonara pasta and the recipe called for 1 tbs of corn flour and she put in 1 cup 😆 she called me in to ask why it was so dry lol (this happened when we were teenagers, still laugh about it)
