How long can uncooked cake batter sit unrefrigerated?
If the recipe calls for baking soda, it must be panned and baked immediately. If the recipe calls for baking powder, you have more time to get it in the oven and you could even refridgerate( with some loss of rise) and bake later( not days later but hours later).
Why is baking powder important to a recipe?
If baking powder is called for in a recipe, it is essential. The base and acid components in the powder, when wet, create the air bubbles that cause the dough to rise, making the end product soft and allowing it to cook thoroughly. Without the baking powder or baking soda (see below), the result of baking unleavened dough will be just hot dough or perhaps dough dried hard. If you have no baking powder but have baking soda, you can substitute a combination of baking soda plus an acidic ingredient, such as molasses, buttermilk or yogurt, or even a little citrus juice.

Do you use baking powder and soda with cake flour?
Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods such as muffins, cakes, scones and American-style biscuits. Baking powder works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture. hmmm, and in non-wikipedia terms, basically it helps the cake to rise, and usually you add a pinch of salt to the mix, because it makes the baking powder taste less soapy :D hope this helps!
Is baking powder reversible or irreversible in water?
Baking powder (baking soda + some acid salts) will release CO2 (carbon dioxide gas) when placed in water. So, even though, in theory, all reactions are reversible, it is not likely that baking powder in water is reversible once the CO2 gas has formed.

What makes a chocolate chip cookie flat?
According to Alton Brown of Food Network's GOOD EATS -- it is the sugar content that determines whether a cookie is chewy or crispy. White sugar leads to crispier cookies and brown sugar to chewier. So, to some extend, more brown sugar in the recipe can also make the cookie spread more (flatten out). That is why the Toll House recipe calls for equal amounts of the two sugars.Also, the leavening -- baking soda and/or baking powder help a cookie rise. Old baking powder may not work as well as fresh, especially if it has acquired any dampness (i.e. does it clump together in the can, or even need to be scraped out?). Baking powder reacts with liquids to create bubbles in the batter and help it rise.Last, the type of shortening you use in the cookie will affect how it spreads. A shortening like Crisco will spread far less than butter will.When it comes to Chocolate Chip Cookies, it is the one recipe I follow as closely as I can -- I tend to be a little loose with measurements except for chocolate chip cookies that "need" (well, in my mind) to be a certain way when they come out of the oven -- the right height and spread, crispiness/chewiness ratio, etc. -- come only from following the recipe on the bag. Never found any other chocolate chip cookie recipe that works for me.
