How are baking powder and baking soda different?
Both of them are baking soda, which is a chemical that makes baked foods light and fluffy when it comes into contact with acid in the food. Baking powder, which contains an acid, is used when the food doesn't have enough acid to activate the baking soda. It's not recommended, but I've used baking powder in recipes that called for baking soda and it worked well. The opposite is not true--if the recipe calls for baking powder, there's not enough acid in there to kick off baking soda and eating the product will be like chewing on a rock.

What should you use if a chocolate cake recipe calls for bouth baking soda and baking powder but you only have baking powder?
If you only have baking powder and a recipe calls for both baking soda and baking powder, you can generally replace the baking soda with additional baking powder. For every teaspoon of baking soda needed, use about 2 to 3 teaspoons of baking powder, but keep in mind that this may alter the cake's texture and flavor slightly. Additionally, since baking powder already contains an acid, you may want to adjust the recipe by reducing any additional acidic ingredients.
