Help!I have guests for dinner tomorrow and I baked my foolproof carrot cake.However I must have put too much baking soda and not enough sugar (multi tasking/ lack of concentration).My cake takes salty, not at all sweet and not its usual moist self.How can I rescue it?
I was thinking of pouring some orange syrup (an improvisation on the lemon syrup topping) so that I can make it moist and sweet.But all the recipes say that the cake must be hot before pouring the lemon syrup.Can I pour it on a cold cake?Can I nuke my cake in the microwave and then pour the orange syrup on it?
I do intend to use cream cheese icing on top, after the above rescue.What do you think?

You need to make another or something else.You can't save something that has too much baking soda nothing masks the taste

Yeah, I am thinking the same...I just dont think a syrup is going to disguise the baking soda taste.

last night my daughter made a chocolate self saucing pudding - she used the ingredients that make a third of a recipe except that she put the full recipe worth of boiling water in it.Some things just aren't worth saving.
