Baking Soda/Baking Powder

Semalam ade meeting special komiti kt opis. Kiterg xde source utk order refreshment, unless hmm, someone in the komiti willing to sedekah duit department dia. And since all of us cuma anak buah ajer, jadi kiterg xde LOA nk approved utk order kt Kopet**. So, saya selaku setiausaha komiti, dah pesan, air sile bwk sendiri yer!

Jadinye, saya amik initiative sendiri, kesian kang miting lama2 dahla petang lak tu, xde bende nk kunyah. Sebenarnye nk bwk cikedi tayar yg Aqil nak sgt tp pehtu xmkn kt rumah. Pehtu sekali nk buat red velvet cupcake sbb bhn2 mmg sedia ada dah.

So, mlm rabu, bersilat lah kat dapur menyediakan bhn-bhn sambil terteleng-teleng kat recipe. Haha. yer, ikot recipe, bukan rekaan, kalau xsedap, slhkn recipe..hahaha...

Alih ade satu bhn, die tulis baking soda. Recipe dlm bhs omputih la ni. So ms tu dh konfiden gile baking soda tu was baking powder. So letak baking powder jelah. OK, kek pon masak dgn baik. Naik sume, moist sume, sedap sume (ceyy!).

Bgn pagi, wat topping die, pun ikot recipe gak, kalau xsdap, salahkn recipe yer! hahaha..

Pehtu ms berjln nk g lrt, tibe-tibe terigt perkataan baking soda. Pehtu berteka teki lak dlm hati, baking soda tu soda bicarbonate ke baking powder. Alamak, kek xjadi la tu..Ish, tp dah bawak lebih kurang 10 biji cupcake siap topping ni, nk jamu meeting ptg tu. Pehtu decided nk surfing, baking soda tu ape.

Masuk lrt, terus bukak safari, google cr baking soda. So, sumber dr wikipedia kot, xigt, die ckp, baking soda is purely soda bicarbonate. Dush!..cuak dah masa baca tu, dlm hati ckp, sah, kek ni xjadi la tu! Pehtu baca lagi explanation, wiki tu ckp, kalau recipe yg gune baking soda, buleh subs gune baking powder, psl baking powder contains soda bicarbonate dgn cream of tartar. Tapiiiii...kalau recipe gune baking powder, TAKLEH subs dgn gune baking soda. Chemical reaction die lainnnnn....

Baking soda, bile die react dgn other ingredient, product akhir die, kek akan moist. Terbalik dgn baking powder, die ade agent pengering, tu psl byk gune dlm cake, baking powder + soda bicarb bile nk kek yg moist gitu. Tapiiiii, baking soda ni, die leh bagi rs bitter sket kalau gune byk sgttttt...normally, resepi yg gune buttermilk, yogurt, mmg gune baking soda. So red velvet, recipe die gune buttermilk, yg resipi saya pulak, guna yogurt, so die cuma guna baking soda ajer!

Satu lg perkara yg saya dpt belajar melalui kesilapan saya! Atau org putih ckp, Learn from Mistakes!
