Has athe levening agent been decreased in your baking soda?

Baking soda is only a leavening agent in recipes that contain some kind of acetic ingredient such as vinegar, citrus juice, or sour cream. Baking soda is simply bicarbonate of soda, a chemical that is always the same substance. Baking power is more commonly used as a leavening agent because it contains cream of tartar (or some other acidic compound) to cause the production of carbon dioxide.

Do Matzah balls have any religious significance?

YES IT IS A JEWISH MEAL AT PASSOVER Answer No, there is no religious significance to matzoh balls. At Passover, the command is no levening in your house. You may have new flour (matzoh), but you can't bake bread because the definition of bread is flour and levening. The combination of matzoh and water yeilds unleavened bread. Matzoh balls are wheat dumplings which are boiled in chicken broth until done. Matzoh balls are made of eggs, oil, and matzoh meal, refrigerated, then boiled. Other than they fullfill the command for no levening in the house, there is no religious significance.


Why the salty taste in cakes with splenda?

I've been having the same problem, so I scouted around to try and find the answer. Apparently it's on the Splenda website. The general consensus seems to be that Splenda doesn't do so well in baked goods like cookies and cakes because the additional levening agent adds a salty taste to it. Splenda suggest adding milk powder and baking powder to combat the salty effect. But if you are making things like cheesecakes and fruit pies, Splenda works amazingly well on its own. So it depends on the levening in the recipe. I'm going to try adding milk powder and baking powder next time to see what happens.
