I Forgot the baking powder; SMDH!
How bad of a fail will my cake be w/o the baking powder I forgot to add? I didn't even realize it till cleaning up. I was distracted while making the cake. Its REALLY going to be a "shallow" cake.

The good thing when you DO do it is, you’ll likely never do it again because you get so annoyed with yourself.
I see from the photo for this recipe that they put it in a baking dish, not a traditional cake pan so it's not intended to be cut into neat slices or squares - which means you picked the perfect cake for this little mishap!
Do tell us, please, how it turns out. ;o)
On the plus side, I browned the butter and that upped the flavor factor. I forgot to add a little rum. I did use all coconut milks, condensed, evaporated in lieu of whole and coconut cream instead of whipped. Forgot to chill the Coconut cream so no whip factor. Wound up whipping cream and adding the coconut to it. Oh and ALMOST burned the coconut. Like I said, a distracting day. It'll all go though. I prefer the more spongy type of cake this dish typically known for. https://patijinich.com/tres_leches_cake/
