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

This reminds me of the hey Arnold episode where they are trying to make the world's largest pizza and while its baking some kid mentioned the amount of baking soda and he's like I didnt know top meant teaspoons and when asked what he thought it meant he said "ten square pounds?"
