This is because our Test Kitchen uses the starter primarily for flavor here and using baking soda and powder for the leavening action. Use starter discard plus chemical leaveners in recipes like quick breads, cakes, and cookies. Active starter better mimics the slow rise leavening action of yeast (in breads and rolls vs. quick acting leaveners like baking soda and powder.
