Leavening agents are the MVP of many cakes and help them rise and become light and fluffy! But did you know that the fizzy, carbon dioxide gas bubbles in soda pop act like a leavening agent?
In the scientific method, you always start with a question. When baking with soda pop, you might ask: Will the cake take on the soda pop’s flavor? Does dark or light soda pop make a difference? Will a dark or light soda color affect the color of the cake?
After you have your question, you can head to our Learn page to study up and form your hypothesis — which just means, what do you think the answer to your question will be?
