Baking powder is a leavening agent that typically contains a combination of an acid (such as cream of tartar), a base (usually baking soda), and a moisture-absorbing agent (like starch). It is designed to release carbon dioxide gas when mixed with liquid and exposed to heat, causing doughs and batters to rise. Baking powder can be single-acting or double-acting; the latter releases gas in two phases, first when mixed with liquid and again when heated. It is commonly used in a variety of baked goods to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
Baking soda is a white powder that is salty and abrasive. It is also known as sodium bicarbonate and has many different uses.
