Can you add baking soda to make a cake rise more?

No, adding baking soda will not make a cake rise more. Baking soda is a base and will react with the acids in the cake batter, producing carbon dioxide gas and water. Baking powder, on the other hand, is a raising agent that contains both a base (baking soda) and an acid. Whenbaking powder is added to cakebatter, the baking soda reacts with the acid to produce carbon dioxide gas, which causes the cake to rise.
