Was very tasty and moist but as written (with 3/4 tsp baking soda) the cake caved in a bit. I discovered the mistake after adding the soda and tried to correct the problem by adding 3/4 tsp baking powder in addition but the cake still caved. I will try to re-review after I make it again with what was probably the intended ingredient only: baking powder.
