It's very doubtful it will make you sick. However, the baking powder will be useless in the recipe if it has reached (or surpassed) the expiration date.

I have a recipe that calls for baking soda and baking powder. does that make sense?
I've run across that a few times, usually less soda than baking powder. Shouldn't be a problem.
Can expired baking soda still be used for baking?
I just used some baking soda that is 4 years expired. Did the water test (tsp of soda - add a little water - see if it fizzes) to make sure it was potent. Then went on to use it. I had NO problems baking biscuits with it. Turned out great.
Can you make oatmeal cookies using baking powder instead of baking soda?
Yes, but one should reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. When one does not have baking soda, it is best to use a cookie recipe that calls for baking powder, because the two ingredients are not identical.
What can you use in place of baking soda in chocolate chip cookies?
The original Nestlés Toll House cookies (chocolate chip cookies) recipe calls for baking soda, not baking powder. There is no substitute for baking soda or baking powder in a recipe. You have to have it.
Can you combine baking soda and baking powder to cup cake and what is amount of two?
Baking soda is already an ingredient of baking powder so by mixing the two you would be simply changing the proportion of baking soda to baking powder. It will make no real difference to the outcome if you make up the volume of raising agent the recipe calls for with any proportion of baking powder to baking soda. As a safeguard you may like to add a teaspoon of white vinegar or a tablespoon of yoghurt or buttermilk to a cupcake recipe made with baking soda - the acid in the vinegar/yoghurt/buttermilk will react with the Soda to release carbon dioxide which will make you cupcakes rise.
Why wont baking soda work when a recipe calls for baking powder?
Actually, both are activated by moisture( just a fun fact), but they are used under different conditions.Because baking powder contains baking soda. Also because baking soda does not contain the acidity to make a cake rise.
What is a substitution for baking powder?
Bicarbonate of soda mixed with cream of tartar (this mixture is essentially what baking powder is comprised of). I believe the ratio is meant to be 1:3 bicarb to cream of tartar to make baking powder. Otherwise, there are no substitutes, but using self-raising flour may help slightly (depending on the recipe).
Is it important to add baking soda or baking powder to peanut butter cookies?
Baking soda and baking powder are very different in how they work. Think of baking powder as making something more light and fluffy. Baking soda is going to make something taste less sweet and slightly more light. But yes. If your recipe calls for baking soda, or baking powder using the correct amount of both is important. You cannot substitute one for the other.
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!
Why can you substitute baking powder for baking soda in quick breads but not baking soda for baking powder?
Baking soda is used when there is an acidic ingredient in the recipe. For example, molasses, buttermilk, chocolate. Please note that baking is like a chemical experiment and ingredients and amounts especially leavening need to be exact to have the recipe work.
What can you use to replace baking powder in a recipe?
Usually, you would want to make sure to use baking soda, but the only possibility I can think of would be Cream of Tartar. But, you have to be very careful with how much you use because it can really fluff up what ever it is your baking.
What baking supply makes bread rise?
