Yes, you can use both baking powder and cream of tartar in a recipe. Baking powder already contains an acid (usually cream of tartar) along with baking soda, so adding cream of tartar can enhance the leavening effect or provide additional acidity. However, if a recipe calls for baking powder, you typically don't need to add extra cream of tartar unless specified.
What else can I help you with?
Is their any other substitute of cream of tartar?
If you do not have cream of tartar, baking powder will work just as well, or better. If the recipe calls for both cream of tartar and baking soda, leave out the soda if you use baking powder - it already has soda in it.
How do I make baking powder using cornstarch and baking soda?
The proper substitution for baking powder is half baking soda and half cream of tartar. They both have leavening properties. If you don't have cream of tartar available, I guess I would go toward 2/3 - 3/4 baking soda and the rest cornstarch.
Is baking powder soluble in ethanol?
Baking powder is primarily composed of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and an acid (usually cream of tartar). Both of these components are soluble in water, but not in ethanol. Therefore, baking powder is not expected to be soluble in ethanol.
Can you replace cream of tartar with baking powder?
Cream of tartar is tartaric acid. It and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) are the two active ingredients of baking powder. The substitution for 1 tsp. of baking powder is 1/4 tsp. baking soda + 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
What can replace tartaric acid in recipes?
Is tartaric acid and cream of tartar the same thing. Cream of tartar is obtained when tartaric acid is half neutralized with potassium hydroxide, transforming it into a salt.

What are substitutes for cream of tartar?
I have been informed that baking powder is 1/4 baking soda & 5/8 cream of tartar the rest being made up of various other ingredients. Baking soda by itself is no good as it is alkaline and you need an acid so, depending on the recipe, you could try lemon juice, white vinegar or buttermilk.
Where can you get baking powder?
from the BHG magazine of January 2009: 1/4 cup cream of tartar sifted three times with 2 Tablespoons baking soda make a batch of baking powder. Use within a month. For smaller batch: 2 teaspoons cream of tartar sifted with 1 teaspoon baking soda.
Is baking powder used in baking soda?
Baking powder is not the same as baking soda. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar, which are both raising agents designed for different purposes - one of them is activated by water, the other by heat. Baking soda is "strong" compared to baking powder, and is not a direct substitute for baking powder.
What can you use instead of creme of tartar?
I don't think anything replaces cream of tartar, but it will only make a slight difference if you don't use it. If you are making a meringue it may not hold together as well, and if you are making cookies they won't be as crisp. If you are beating eggs whites - you can substitute white vinegar. Use the same ratio as cream of tartar, generally 1/8 teaspoon per egg white. For baking projects, you could use white vinegar or lemon juice, in the ratio of 3 times the amount of cream of tartar called for, to provide the acid for most recipes. This may be problematic, as that amount of liquid could cause cakes to have a coarser grain or may cause shrinking. It is obviously preferable to use cream of tartar, and some might suggest you just skip the replacement also. Actually...U can replace both the Cream of Tartar and Baking soda..with one ingrediant...Baking Powder.

Can you substitute baking baking powder for baking soda?
Yes, but you should only use 1/3 of the amount of baking powder specified, when switching to baking soda. i.e do not substitute on a 1:1 basis. Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar. So although baking soda is not exactly the same as baking powder, it is also far stronger. Your cookies will turn out slightly differently, but using baking soda is better than leaving out both leavening agents, since this will result in really hard cookies. Alternatively, use self-raising flour and miss out baking powder and soda.
Can baking powder be used as a substitue for cream of tartar?
Cream of Tartar is potassium hydrogen tartrate it is derived from a byproduct from the wine industry. Crystalline acid is scrapped from the inside of wine barrels and purified and ground to produce Cream of Tartar. Substitute can include other acidics such as lemon juice (3 x quantity) or vinegar (3 x quantity) but they may slightly alter the taste of the finished product.
Is baking powder an acid or an alkali?
Baking powder is an alkali Actually baking powder is a blend of both acid and alkali. It generally contains acids such as calcium acid phosphate, sodium aluminum sulfate or cream of tartar and the alkali sodium bicarbonate also known as baking soda. It's due to this blend that, after coming into contact with a liquid it is able to create carbon dioxide bubbles which are used as for leavening in baking.
