Answer 1

$\large \mathfrak{answer}$

Ingredients: Baking soda and tartaric acid.

On heating or mixing with water, sodium bicarbonate reacts with hydrogen ion from acid and releases CO2 that makes the cake soft and fluffy.

Tartaric add is used to avoid the bitter taste by reacting with Na2CO3 formed.

2NaCO3+H→Na2CO3+H2O+CO2
