If you need a substitute for cream of tartar in a sponge cake, you can use white vinegar or lemon juice in equal amounts, as both provide the acidity needed to stabilize egg whites. Alternatively, baking powder can be used as a substitute; use about 1.5 times the amount of baking powder as the cream of tartar called for in the recipe. Lastly, buttermilk or yogurt can also work, but you may need to adjust the liquid content in the recipe.

The reaction between the two chemicals when moistened and heated produces carbon dioxide gas which causes the cake to rise as the bubbles of CO2 gas get trapped in the cake.
