I am doubling a cake recipe. I just added baking powder to the flour. I now can't remember if I remembered to double the baking powder or not. It is now, of course, inseparable to all the flour.
HELP! What do I do? If I double it again and I already doubled it, what happens? If I fail to double it and it turns out I baked a cake with half the required baking powder, what happens? Which would be worse?
Doubled quantities were supposed to be four cups flour, 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powders.
ETA: I could also just dump out everything, but that seems so wasteful. Is there anything one could do to four cups of flour with an unknown quantity of baking powder in them?
ETA II: I hadn't mixed anything yet, so I scooped out the top layer and threw that out, then re-measured the flour and added correct amount of baking powder. I think.
