Hi CinTaMaNis

I’ve just peeked at the tutorial and Paul says bicarbonate of soda as in the written instructions. ?

At 48secs, when going through the ingredients. Nevertheless, thank you for clarifying.

Hi CinTaMaNis

Apologies for delay in replying. Yes I did notice that, however, when Paul in adding all the dry ingredients into the mixer bowl he says bicarbonate of soda. I think earlier was just a slip of the tongue.

The other ingredients, especially the acidic treacle requires bicarbonate of soda to make the cake rise by creating lots of co2 bubbles.

Hope this helps ?
