In a follow-up video, Maddy also tells the chronology of the process of making the cake and why the dough explodes. Initially, he put all the basic ingredients for making the cake into a blender, starting from boiled lemon, sugar, to eggs. Then, he also added baking soda. Well, in this process the chaos begins.
"Don't forget to add the baking soda which will react with the acidity of the lemons and explode, later on," he stressed.

When blended, these ingredients still look normal. In fact, Maddy stopped the blender and shook the blender glass to make sure all the ingredients were mixed evenly. Next, he continued the blending process. After it was finished and the blender was opened, an unexpected tragedy occurred.

The mixture from Maddy's blender immediately exploded quite loudly and was thrown upwards. In fact, a lump of dough was seen stuck to the kitchen ceiling. Maddy explained that the explosion occurred because the baking soda reacted with the acid from the lemon. So, what reaction does baking soda produce?

Reporting from thespruceeats.com, baking soda mixed with acid will produce a gas called carbon dioxide. Plus, the mixture undergoes rapid rotation in the blender, so Maddy's mixture can explode.
