If you forget to add baking soda to a cake recipe, the cake may not rise properly and can end up dense, flat, and with a tighter crumb.

On the other hand, a cake without baking soda may rely on other leavening agents like baking powder or beaten eggs to rise, but it may not rise as much as a cake with baking soda.
