My neighbor saw my flat cake and gave me a tip I'll never forget

I brought a sad looking chocolate cake to a block party in Springfield last month, and my neighbor Carol took one look and said, 'Honey, your baking powder is old.' She walked me to her kitchen and showed me how to test it with hot water. I went home and tried it, and sure enough, mine just fizzled. Have you ever had a simple fix change your whole bake?

My buddy's cookies were always flat until someone told him to chill his dough first.

Ha, @charlesj46, my dough is never patient enough.

So does chilling it actually make a big difference, or is it just one of those baking myths?
