To counteract too much baking powder, you can try adding a small amount of acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to the mixture to neutralize the excess baking powder. Alternatively, you could try doubling the recipe to balance out the excess baking powder. Keep in mind that adjusting the other ingredients might be necessary to maintain the intended flavor and texture of the baked goods.

Why don't you use sodium hydroxide for baking cakes?

It is commly known as soda lye and its caustic nature makes it effective for use in drain cleaners But perhaps you mean why it can't be used as a leavening agent. Both baking powder (which contains sodium bicarbonate) an yeast act by producing carbon dioxide gas. Sodium hydroxide cannot yield carbon dioxide in a chemical reaction and can in fact react with it.

How is baking soda and baking powder the same?
No, baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate, which reacts with acids in other ingredients of a recipe to create CO2 bubbles an lighten the mixture. Baking powder contains sodium bicarbonate and produces CO2 in the same way, but it contains the acid mixed in with it already. Both baking powder and baking soda (which is called bicarbonate of soda in the uk) are used to do the same thing leaven, or lighten up, a recipe. But they are not the same thing.
Is baking powder a raising agent for rice flour?
Yes, baking powder can act as a raising agent for rice flour in baking. While rice flour lacks gluten, which typically provides structure and rise, baking powder releases carbon dioxide when mixed with liquid and heated, helping to create a lighter texture. It's commonly used in gluten-free recipes to enhance the rise and fluffiness of baked goods made with rice flour. However, the results can vary, so it's often recommended to combine it with other ingredients for optimal results.

Can expired baking soda still be used for baking?

Can i use cornstarch in making waffles?
sure, but why do you want to use it. Cornstarch is used as a thickener, and is activated when reaching waters' boiling point. Not sure if this answers your question or not. If I am to guess, you are wanting to substitute the cornstarch for baking soda/baking powder. Again, I may be wrong about why you want to use it. As far as I know, cornstarch doesn't function like baking powder/soda in baking. The two act as leavening agents (creating air bubbles in baked goods), if this is your line of thinking, then cornstarch would not substitute. Hope this helps! Happy cooking, I love waffles!
What type of acid does baking powder contain?
baking powder isn't an acid.wrong there are acids in it...CookingMain article: leavening agentSodium bicarbonate is primarily used in cooking (baking) where it reacts with other components to release carbon dioxide, that helps dough"rise". The acidic compounds that induce this reaction include phosphates, cream of tartar, lemon juice, yogurt, buttermilk, cocoa, vinegar, etc. Sodium bicarbonate can be substituted for baking powder provided sufficient acid reagent is also added to the recipe.[3] Many forms of baking powder contain sodium bicarbonate combined with one or more acidic phosphates (especially good) or cream of tartar. It can also be used for softening peas (⅛ tsp. per pint of water and bring to boil for one hour)Thermal decomposition causes sodium bicarbonate alone to act as a raising agent by releasing carbon dioxide at baking temperatures. The mixture for cakes using this method can be allowed to stand before baking without any premature release of carbon dioxide
What is an assation?

Is baking soda an antacid?
