Bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar mixed gives 'baking powder'. It is a leavening agent, used to makes cakes rise. To make baking powder, the ratio is 1:3 parts bicarb to cream of tartar. For a 3 egg sponge cake that is not aerated in any other way, 2-3 teaspoons of baking powder should be enough (assuming plain flour, not self-raising flour).

Is baking soda like baking powder?
Aeration systems in cakes are a neutralisation reaction. Acid + Base = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide The base is almost always Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking soda/Bicarbonate of Soda). When used on its own its called "Baking Soda" The acid changes dependant on the characteristics wanted from the leavening system. Quick acting / Slow acting / delayed action / double action etc. In Baking powder the acid is potassium hydrogen tartrate (Cream of Tarter) Both Sodium Bicarbonate and Cream of tarter with a little cornstarch are the componants of baking powder. Both will give very different products ans are used at different dosages, used correctly the correct raising agent can help with not just the height of the product but also the texture/flavour and also the colour.

What can you substitute for baking soda and baking powder?
i dont know bou i do know that i am a former chef and Serena is on the right track, if you do not have cream of tarter, use 1 teaspoon of soda and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, all baking powder is 60% baking soda, 20% cream of tarter and 20% cornstarch. So you can make you own or use what you have, if you use straight soda then use one 1/3 of the recipes requested amount.

How do you bake without baking powder?
I am assuming you are out of baking powder? If you have baking soda and cream of tarter, you can substitute that - 2 parts cream of tarter to 1 part baking soda. Use the resulting powder in the proportions the recipe calls for. Alternatively, you can beat your egg whites in the recipe (I might add an additional egg white for extra leavening) and fold them into the yolk/milk/flour mixture. Or you could just make crepes - omitting the baking powder and making a denser, flat pancake, a la Paris!
