My brain has not been with me lately. My recipe for chocolate cake (found on here from gourmet magazine) calls for 2 tsp baking soda and 3/4tsp baking powder. I put 2 tsp baking powder and was starting to put 3/4 baking soda when I realized what I had done.

Soo, I then made it 2 tsp baking soda. My flour mixture now has 2tsp each soda and powder. I don't want to waste all the other ingredients. Should I trash it and start over or will it be ok?

I would. That much leavening will certainly effect the rise of the cake. in some recipes it might not matter, but cake can be fussy.

thanks joann, I was thinking the same thing. I put it aside and made my mmf so I guess I'll trash the dry ingredients and start over.

I have a suggestion: Instead of trashing your batter, why not put a little into a collared pan and see what happens? I wouldn't recommend filling hte pan more that 1/4 full, but dont you want to KNOw?? lol I'm curious, pm me if you do this icon_smile.gif GL
