No. Baking powder is used to make floury things rise. Baking soda is used to add soda bubbles. But Baking Soda and Bicarbonate of Soda are the same thing.

Baking powder is not the same as baking soda.

Baking soda is "strong" compared to baking powder, and is not a direct substitute for baking powder.

Baking soda and baking powder are very different in how they work. Think of baking powder as making something more light and fluffy. Baking soda is going to make something taste less sweet and slightly more light. But yes. If your recipe calls for baking soda, or baking powder using the correct amount of both is important. You cannot substitute one for the other.

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.


What would you put baking soda in?

Baking soda is a leavening agent and is used in many different types of baked goods. Many cookie recipes call for baking soda rather than baking powder. Recipe's such as Red Velvet Cake and some chocolate cakes also call for baking soda, some along with baking powder, some as the only leavening agent. Baking soda combined with equal amounts of cornstarch and twice as much cream of tartar can be used to replace baking powder. Use about one-quarter the amount of baking soda as the recipe calls for baking powder, and then scale the corn starch and cream of tartar accordingly.


Is baking powder a mixture or a pure substance?
