If you read the reviews you will see a lot of people commenting on the amount of baking powder. I too was skeptical  at such a large amount. Yet - it turned out delicious.Both my flour and powder are fresh. I know in the past when I used old flour or old baking powder I could end up with similar results. I didn't know that was the issue until a roommate-who is a professional cook - pointed it out. I didn't know dry ingredients could go bad. I tossed everything out and started fresh. It made a huge difference in how recipes come out.So if you are someone like me who doesn't bake from scratch a lot, before you blame the recipe, make sure you are using fresh ingredients.
