Baked good remedy?

I made a batch of zucchini bread this morning (well, cake, if you go by the shape of the pan, but whatever). And it came out pretty well for texture and all... but there's a noticeable bitterness from the baking powder that's not so nice. Does anyone know a way to mask it? Would frosting or something help? Or should I ditch the 5 cakes?

Hmm. you could use it in a savory way, like as a bread to go with a stew. Bitter flavors are less annoying with savory flavors, at least to us in the US.

Not sure what to do now (although Ruth's suggestion sounds good), but for the future, I think cutting the baking soda in half would work just fine (assuming you used the recipe you posted in your journal).
