    Let it finish baking the only thing the salt does is help it rise so you may notice a slight degree of height,but other than that it won't affect it. I never use salt in any recipes and they all come out just fine!

    Nothing. Your cake will be fine. Salt is used to regulate the leavening action, and as a minor flavor enhancer.

    Just let it bake , your cake should be fine without the salt.
