How much baking powder should be added into one cup of high graded flour?
For what recipe? Don't do it unless the recipe calls for it because you could seriously mess up the baking chemistry.
Can you mix baking powder and yeast?
Yes it aids in the rising. When a recipe contains baking powder and baking soda, the baking powder does most of the leavening. The baking soda is added to neutralize the acids in the recipe plus to add tenderness and some leavening.
Can bakingsoda substitute for bakingpowder in a recipe?
Yes, it can, with modifications. 1/4 teaspoon baking soda equals 1 teaspoon baking powder.

Add a tablespoon of lemon juice, or substitute sour milk for the liquid in the recipe.

How is self-raising flour different from ordinary flour?
Self-rising flour has baking soda, baking powder and salt added in. All-purpose flour does not have these ingredients, so you have to mix them in if the recipe calls for them. For recipes that call for all-purpose flour, and you are using self-rising flour, you can leave these ingredients out.

What are the real-world appilcations of knowing the difference between baking soda and baking powder?
whether or not your cakes or biscuits rise correctly. Baking Powder is baking soda along with the addition of an acid, such as alum or cream of tartar (tartaric acid) which aids in the breakdown of the soda to make the recipe "rise" better. Using soda without an added acid, the recipe will not rise as much; often when just soda is used the recipe will call for the addition of lemon juice or vinegar to aid in rising.
What happens to the cake recipe if you use baking soda instead of baking powder?
Baking powder and baking soda are not directly interchangeable. If baking powder is used, one should reduce the amount of salt in the recipe, as well as reduce or eliminate any added acidic ingredient such as vinegar or lemon juice; replace buttermilk with regular milk.
Why are my baking goods taking bitter--haven't mistakenly added too much baking powder?

What is the difference between baking cupkakes with baking powder and without baking powder?
Baking Powder is what makes cakes rise, similar to yeast in bread. Plain flour recipes usually need baking powder added alongside other ingredients, whereas Self-Raising flour already has Baking Powder combined so extra is not usually needed. If you bake cupcakes with Plain flour and without Baking Powder they will be very flat, about the same size as the raw mixture, it won't be light and fluffy but quite dense. It is also a good idea to not substitute Self Raising flour in a recipe that calls for Plain and Baking Powder (and vice versa), as the amount is usually tailored to give just the right amount of rise to the food.
Can you omit baking soda and baking powder with self rising flour?
No you don't, I thought this earlier on today, but if you have self-raising flour then you are fine. It just raises better with baking power added. Really you "must" use self-raising in using cake or will Not rise. :')
