Need help with baking soda taste in steam pudding

Hi

I use the steam fruit pudding recipe (out of the Joan Hill? green crockpot recipe book) but my husband tells me it has a baking soda taste.

The recipe calls for 2 t baking soda. How could I avoid this? It is all properly mixed so that isn't this issue.

Tips gratefully received

Mix the baking soda into the milk or water, making sure it is all dissolved before adding to the mix.

mix it with warm milk first then add to the mix, even if there is no milk in the receipe.
