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.

∙ 12y agoNo, they are not the same ingredient and will not yield the same (or desired) results. Although they are quite similar they have one main difference: baking soda will yield a bitter taste if its acidity is not countered by another ingredient in the recipe and baking powder is neutral when it comes to taste. Baking is all about precision so although you may be able to get away with substituting some ingredients at times it is best to use exactly what the recipe calls for.

∙ 13y agoSubstituting baking soda for baking powder is not likely to change the taste of the cake, but it could affect whether and how the cake rises. Baking powder has additional ingredients that promote rising that baking soda does not have. Baking soda needs some sort of acid to create the gas that causes the cake to rise. Usually sour milk or buttermilk is used in cake recipes that use baking soda.

What can you use instead baking soda?
Using Baking Powder Instead of Baking Soda* You need to use 2-3 times more baking powder than baking soda. The extra ingredients in the baking powder will have an effect on the taste of whatever you are making, but this isn't necessarily bad. * Ideally, triple the amount of baking soda to equal the amount of baking powder. So, if the recipe called for 1 tsp baking soda, you would use 3 tsp baking powder. * What I do is compromise... I use twice the amount of baking powder as baking soda (add 2 tsp of baking powder if the recipe calls for 1 tdp baking soda), plus I omit the salt (which adds flavor but also affects rising in some recipes).
