What is the function of baking powder in Victoria sponge?
Baking powder is a leavening agents, which means it is added to baked goods before cooking to produce carbon dioxide and cause it to 'rise'. Baking powder contains baking soda, but the two substances are used under different conditions.

Carbon dioxide is released.
What happens when baking powder is used instead of corn starch?
Baking powder is baking soda plus acid, and is used in recipes that don't have acid--acid being what makes baking soda leaven things. I've used baking powder in recipes that call for baking soda, and it didn't hurt them; maybe they were a bit fluffier but that's okay.
Is borax powder edible?
No it is not. Borax and baking soda are two very different substances.
Why did alcohol not have a reaction on baking powder?
I think you mean baking soda, not baking powder. Anyway, that's not a very good answer. The correct answer isn't that interesting. The answer is that these two substances simply don't react. It takes an acid, vinegar, to react with the base, bicarbonate. An acid neutralizes the base and carbon dioxide is given off. I guess the short, best answer is that alcohol is not an acid.

How do you make baking power?
If you mean baking powder, then just mix two parts cream of tartar with one part 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.

No you can't. Baking powder is a leavening agent while cornstarch is a thickening agent. The same applies to baking soda, which will also make doughs "rise," whereas cornstarch will not.
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.
When a recipe call for 2 teaspoon of baking soda how much Cream of Tatar should you use?
Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, starch and an acid (often tartar) to activate the baking soda. Since baking soda is already in the baking powder, it is possible you will not need any additional baking soda. Baking powder and baking soda are used to "raise" or puff up the pastry - too little and it will not raise properly...too much and it will taste like soda. If you do not have a specific recipe, you will need to experiment.
