In the past few weeks I receive a lot of question, about
what is the difference between Baking Soda and Baking powder? So I decide to
write a short blog about the difference between the Baking soda and Baking powder.
Baking soda and Baking powder are both leavening agents.
When included in a batter, the leavening agent causes air bubbles to expand
when cooked. This causing it to rise.
Baking soda
Baking soda is a pure leavening agent. It needs to be
mixed with moisture and an acidic ingredient for the necessary chemical
reaction to take place to make food rise. Because it needs an acid to create
the rising quality, it is often used in recipes where there is already an
acidic ingredient present, such as lemon juice, chocolate, buttermilk or honey.
For example you use baking soda to bake a Red Velvet cake. One of the
ingredients to make Red Velvet cake is
buttermilk.
Baking powder
Baking powder, which contains bicarbonate of soda, comes
pre-mixed with the acidic ingredient for you – so all you need to add is the
moisture. The acidic ingredient most often used in baking powder is cream of
tartar. Baking powder has a neutral taste and is often used in recipes that
have other neutral-tasting ingredients, such as milk.
Cream of tartar
With cream of tartar you can make your own baking powder.
Simply mix two parts cream of tartar with one part bicarbonate of soda and you
have baking powder.
