Baking soda is simply bicarbonate of soda that reacts with an acid in batter or dough to produce gas and cause the product to rise. Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda and an acid, along with cornstarch or other ingredients. Substituting baking powder for baking soda or vice versa can cause a product to "fall" or fail to rise.

What can you use instead baking soda?

Using Baking Powder Instead of Baking Soda* You need to use 2-3 times more baking powder than baking soda. The extra ingredients in the baking powder will have an effect on the taste of whatever you are making, but this isn't necessarily bad. * Ideally, triple the amount of baking soda to equal the amount of baking powder. So, if the recipe called for 1 tsp baking soda, you would use 3 tsp baking powder. * What I do is compromise... I use twice the amount of baking powder as baking soda (add 2 tsp of baking powder if the recipe calls for 1 tdp baking soda), plus I omit the salt (which adds flavor but also affects rising in some recipes).
