Hi i just finished researching a project based on baking cupcakes. one of the key chemical reactions when baking a cake ocurs in baking soda because when it is dissolvedin water and then heated during baking. the bs then releases carbon dioxide which forms buubles of co2 in the cake whcih gives it most of its supporting structure. go to this site for more info: http;//nzic.org.nz/ChemProcesses/food/6D.pdf its all about the chemistry of baking
