Baking powder and baking soda serve different purposes in baking. Baking soda is a pure alkaline compound that requires an acid to activate it, while baking powder contains both an acid and a base, allowing it to create carbon dioxide gas when mixed with liquid. Consequently, because baking powder is less potent in its leavening ability compared to baking soda, you typically need to use 2 to 3 times more baking powder to achieve similar leavening effects in recipes. This ensures proper rise and texture in baked goods.
