Where's the acid at to activate the baking soda?

When baking you don't need an acid - the heat will cause it to react.

The baking soda and an acid such as cream of tartar (tartartic acid) or milk or syrup makes the cookie rise. (Baking powder contains both baking soda and cream of tartar.) The reaction between these forms carbon dioxide gas and a salt, and the bubbles of gas make the mix rise.

Make sure that your baking soda has been kept dry!
