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.
Baking soda is required to leaven the baked product. Either baking soda or baking powder would need to be included in the batter regardless of the use of cocoa powder.
The recipe that I use calls for baking soda.
if the recipie says to use baking powder you should use that as that is how it is sopose to be used but you may try and use baking soda if you don't have baking powder
You cannot use baking powder as a substitute for baking soda
Bicarbonate of soda and baking soda are the same thing. If you are referring to baking powder, please check the provided link which explains the difference between baking soda and baking powder, and what happens if you use them together.
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).
i say you use baking soda i use it every time i make cookies

You could use yeast instead of baking powder.
i usually use baking powder, not baking soda
cooking and baking powder are not the same because you use baking powder to puff up bread if you don't have any yeast and you use cooking powder to put in cooking like sups if you are silly anuf to no! you put cooking powder in like curry's and gravy by darcie 2299
