Baking powder is classified as a leavening agent used in baking. It typically contains a combination of an acid (such as cream of tartar) and a base (such as baking soda), along with a moisture-absorbing agent like starch. When mixed with a liquid and exposed to heat, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which causes doughs and batters to rise. Baking powder can be categorized into single-acting and double-acting, with the latter releasing gas in two phases: once when mixed and again when heated.
