No, you can substitute buttermilk for milk but not for baking powder.
Yes, you can use buttermilk with baking powder.
Yes. However, if you use baking soda instead of powder, you'll need to include some acid. A teaspoon of lemon juice or using buttermilk instead of regular milk will work.
For 1 teaspoon baking soda you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon baking powder plus 1/2 cup sour milk or buttermilk to replace 1/2 cup of liquid called for in your recipe.
Buttermilk is actually an acid base. (vinegar+milk). If you use them interchangeably you may create an awesome science experiment (baking soda/powder) but not a Yummy cake!
You cannot use baking powder as a substitute for baking soda
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.
Stupid question = Stupid answer
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
Baking powder lightens the texture of cakes by enlarging air bubbles within the batter. The correct use of baking powder makes the difference between a light and fluffy cake.Baking powder has different, beneficial properties for cake baking that other types of leavening agents don't have. Yeast produces the same rising action, but takes two to three hours to produce bubbles. Baking powder reacts with water, whereas baking soda requires the use of a liquid acid such as buttermilk or yogurt to instigate leavening.
