Okay, a friend passed this article along to me and it is SO SO SO well-written! Clear, but detailed, full of description, but easy to follow and understand. I’m so grateful PJ/the author went to all this work! Thank you so much! I honestly can’t wait to try my grandmother’s chocolate cake recipe with baking powder subbed for the soda (I’ve always used Dutch-processed cocoa in it). Also, gotta make a quick plug here for the King Arthur All-Purpose baker’s companion cookbook! I absolutely love it! And it’s now one of the first places I go to try out a new recipe or a different version of an old favorite. Thanks to the staff @ King Arthur for all your hard work!!!
