As I had expected, the amount of baking soda in this recipe was excessive, and I could not wash that nasty, soapy taste out of my mouth. When baking, I tended to follow the recipe to the T the first time I have a go at it; This time, I used 1/2 tsp of soda , 1 tsp of powder, use 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cake flour. In addition, I used 1/4 cup of olive oil, instead of the butter. I added fresh grated orange rind to the lingonberries and sugar, and added a quarter cup of Baker's sugar to the recipe, as well. After folding all the ingredients, I added a drop of pure vanilla extract and a drop of a pure lemon extract. Now these muffins were fantastic!!
