Yes, 4 teaspoons of baking powder is generally considered a lot for a cake. Most cake recipes typically call for about 1 to 2 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour. Using too much can result in a cake that rises excessively and then collapses, leading to an undesirable texture and taste.

Can you use wholemeal flour instead of rye flour?

If you add baking powder so what you are making will rise. If you look through most recipes, most use 1 teaspoon of baking powder for each cup of flour. By using whole wheat flour, the finished product will be heavier with a coarser texture. If you are using all whole wheat flour with no white flour, I would use 1 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour. A lot of whole wheat recipes will use half whole wheat, half white.

What is 1 cup of chocolate powder in grams?

This depends a lot on what the powder is - since grams is a measure of weight and teaspoons is a measure of volume, there is not a standard conversion (it varies a lot depending on what substance your are measuring). However, a teaspoon of a ground up spice or baking powder will usually weigh around 4-5 grams (approximately).


What is baking powder used for?

Baking powder is useful for mixing into many types of batter and dough as leavening. It already contains an acid, so it does not need additional acid in the batter, as baking soda needs. Some baked good that use baking powder as leavening are Quick Breads, Cookies, Biscuits, Cornbread, Muffins, Pancakes and Waffles.


How baking soda do you use for baking powder?

Replacing Baking Soda with Baking PowderBaking powder is powdered acid plus a powdered base. When liquid is added they mix together and form carbon dioxide. Baking soda is just a powdered base and needs acid in a recipe in order to create the bubbles needed to rise dough or batter. I've found that if you add about 4 times more baking powder you should create something that works about right. You may want to decrease your acid a little though. Then again...Baking soda reacts with acids to make baked goods rise while baking powder reacts with water. Because of that, most of the time they can't replace each other. After testing the above suggestion I have found that 4 times the amount is far too much baking powder. I would suggest trying only double the amount. This was tried in a biscuit recipe, and baking powder is fine as an alternative.
