I was going to make this but realized I only have baking soda. I went to the closest store and they don't have baking powder either! :(

Is there any way I could omit that ingredient from the recipe?

    its a long shot but if you have cream of tartar you can add it to baking soda to make baking powder.
    Sounds crazy but it works!

    I googled it. Got this answer:
    Making Baking Powder
    •You need baking soda and cream of tartar to make baking powder.

    •Mix 2 parts cream of tartar with 1 part baking soda. For example, mix 2 tsp cream of tartar with 1 tsp baking soda.

    •Use the amount of baking powder called for by the recipe. No matter how much homemade baking powder you made, if the recipe calls for 1-1/2 tsp, add exactly 1-1/2 tsp of your mixture.
