Best Answer

For a good the rises well and does not sink. Baking powder is a 1:3 mixture of baking soda and cream of tartar. Some recipes may need additional baking soda for rising effect because adding additional baking powder would cause the good to taste of too much cream of tartar (it has quite an acidic taste). Not that baking soda is flavour-free, but it is stronger so you need less of it.

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).
