Experimental protocol

Generally cakes grow in size when they are baked in the oven.
But why is that some become cute and spongy and some others not?
Do this experiment and learn about the function of each one of the ingredients in the cake dough and which one of them is responsible for making big and fluffy cakes. Also, learn a little more about the physical and chemical phenomena that are behind the success of this recipe.

This activity comes under the program #cienciavivaathome. From the kitchen to the bathroom, even walking through the garage, no room was left out: after all, science is everywhere!
